Sonny Smith: Anthology of Unknown Music, Volume 1 | March 29 - May 17, 2026
Anthology of Unknown Music, Volume 1 is a collection of musical works and associated visual memorabilia imagined by Sonny Smith, an American musician, playwright, and artist based in West Marin. Centered around Smith’s anthology of twenty recorded songs by invented artists and bands, the exhibition presents accompanying LP covers and sculptures by various collaborators commissioned by Smith. The result is a group exhibition of over 30 artists offering their own visions of to Sonny’s fantastical musical narrative, as well as ceramic and multimedia pieces by Smith himself, including a functioning custom jukebox. The bands and their histories span genres and are often populated by characters identified as outcasts, weirdos, and freaks, whose songs are inspired by death, love, and atypical transformation.
Waz Thomas: Making the Cut III | March 29 - May 17, 2026
Making the Cut III presents works on paper created between 2022 and 2026 by Bolinas-based artist and beloved community figure Waz Thomas. The exhibition marks the third public presentation of his “ironic juxtapositions,” or “Wazzies”—playful composites assembled from found imagery drawn from a wide range of printed materials, including scientific texts, travel guides, art books, religious iconography, landscapes, and cultural ephemera. By cutting and recombining these fragments, Thomas creates unexpected visual encounters that reflect his sardonic humor and fascination with the strange and absurd. Working late into the night in his cottage studio, often accompanied by music on a portable radio, Thomas approaches his creative process intuitively and with a willingness to surrender to chance. A prolific maker who can produce several pieces in a single evening, he has built a vast and continually evolving body of work
