🚨 STOP SCROLLING — THIS IS A ONE-TIME OPPORTUNITY! 🚨
You’ve heard the music, but you’ve never heard the stories like this. Join Steve Parke, Prince’s long-time Art Director & Photographer, for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the life of the Purple One.
From sketching t-shirts in hotel rooms to getting “chin critiques” from the legend himself—this is the Prince the world never saw. 💜✨
📍 THE TOUR STOPS:
• ORANGE COUNTY: June 12th @ South Coast Repertory (ONE NIGHT ONLY!)
• LOS ANGELES: June 13th .collective
🔥 SPECIAL GUEST:
The incredible Stacia Lang (Prince’s former clothes designer) will be joining Steve to dive deep into the fashion and the friction of working with a genius.
⚠️ WHY THE URGENCY?
Tickets are extremely limited and moving FAST. This isn’t just a slideshow—it’s a deep dive into the 13 years Steve spent at Paisley Park capturing over 250+ unseen images. Once these seats are gone, the opportunity to hear these stories in person is gone for good.

When a person possesses inner peace and remains centered, even when surrounded by chaos, they radiate that stillness to every living soul.”
We are captivated by this surrealist masterpiece, Inner Peace, by Silbiano Padilla Muñoz. Through his signature use of metaphorical figures and vibrant, textured oils, Muñoz invites us into a dreamlike world where the noise of the world fades into a serene, rhythmic flow.

🎨 Spring Break Kick-Off: Mission Accomplished!
What a total blast we had kicking off Spring Break in the City of Orange! 🍊
The energy was high, the creativity was flowing, and let’s just say things got a little messy—exactly how a proper art session should be. We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a variety of art projects for an incredible group of kids, ranging from Kindergarten all the way to 5th grade.
❤️ A Special Shout-Out
A massive thank you to the Friendly Center for having us! Your team is incredible, and your space was the perfect hub for all this imagination. We truly appreciate the warm welcome and the chance to partner with such a vital part of our community.
Highlights from the Day:
• Creative Chaos: Seeing the transition from “What do I do?” to “Look at this masterpiece!” is why we do what we do.
• The Artists: Our K-5th graders brought some serious talent to the table. From bold colors to unique textures, the City of Orange has some future Picassos in the making.
• Community Spirit: There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a room full of kids lost in their own imagination.
We’re still finding glitter in places glitter shouldn’t be, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
Stay tuned for more OCAG events coming your way soon! 🖌️✨

The Artist Spotlight (Deep & Conceptual)

“My pursuit of aesthetic excellence is found in the blending of culture and high concepts.” 🖋️

We are captivated by the work of Kobina Wright, an American artist whose pieces transcend traditional boundaries. By weaving together Adinkra symbols, her own unique symbology, and the constructed language of Ħodaoa-Anibo, Wright creates a visual dialogue that connects modern expression to ancestral roots.
