CULT TURNS 10 is a love letter to all the artists who have shared their work with us, and to the collectors, curators and public who have supported us in a myriad of ways over the last ten years. The exhibition is in two parts, the first opens in San Francisco (1401 16th Street) on January 18 and runs through March 2, with an artist reception and anniversary party on Friday, January 19. The second iteration will open in Oakland (482 49th Street) on February 23.

Curator Aimee Friberg opened CULT Aimee Friberg to the public on November 9, 2013 with a group exhibition titled Unseen. Friberg’s intention was to create a platform for rigorous work that is both experimental and attuned to the social complexities of the present moment. Through gallery presentations, offsite exhibitions, artist conversations and multimedia events, CULT engages a broad Bay Area and international audience with programming that encourages artists—especially women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ communities—to take risks with their work. CULT founder Aimee Friberg understands her role as a bridge between artists making critical work about the social moment, and those who are deeply inspired by it. From the beginning, CULT has been rooted in the unseen, those forces that challenge us to recognize our essential interconnectedness. In this particularly heightened moment, Friberg invites the artists and the close community she serves to commune together with intention, and to move beyond perceived differences and ideologies. In this way CULT is a safe space not only for artists to take risks with their work, but also to witness one another in our collective becoming.

Join us on Friday, January 19 from 8-10 p.m. to celebrate this milestone, and to applaud all the artists and collaborators working to make the Bay Area a rich and nutritive environs for creative work and open dialogue.
