This Saturday, Works San Jose opens a heartfelt community exhibition dedicated to a lion of the local art scene, Ray Ashley. The late artist, collector and patron—who passed away in 2016—was, according to Works, “a joy to be around” given his “extraordinary attitude toward life.” He was also Works’ largest individual donor. A veteran of the Vietnam War who suffered extreme injuries, Ray found solace in the creation of hundreds of colorful silk screen and monotype prints upon his return. Now over 30 local artists have taken inspiration from his work and story to create their own tributes to him.
Ray for All
Opens Sat, 12pm, Free
