Victor Frias & Everyone is a two-part exhibition series curated by Devon Tsuno & Seth Pringle that investigates, elaborates and celebrates the drawings of First Street Gallery studio artist Victor Frias. Through collaboration and public engagement, this project is designed to create a rich dialogue of cross-pollination with this uniquely talented artist serving as the central axis. Frias creates enigmatic renderings of found imagery combined with a cast of characters drawn from his expansive imagination and appreciation for the absurd, psychedelic and macabre.

The dA Center for the Arts, in collaboration with First Street Gallery Art Center, presents Victor Frias & Everyone (Part II), which opens at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona Saturday, June 4,2016.
