 Bay Area emerging Artist Carmella Patton, has
created a collection of multidimensional collage of images that personally connects
missing links that have been scattered around the world in the Diaspora. The
Collages gather and glean remmants of the fabric of life and will connect you
to the past, the present and the future.
 Milton
Bowens, noted Bay Area Artist, will be
showcasing his latest art collection, "Afro-Classical" The Subway Series.
Bowens' latest collection explores the elements, eye believe constitute and define
soul. These works look at not just the origins of Jazz music but instead takes
the viewer down the path of the construction of the Jazz Community and historically
crucial role of the Jazz Venue. This series represents the nuance of Jazz Culture
and reinforces its historical importance.
 My
latest series, "Afro -Classical" The
Subway Series continues my exploration into the elements, eye believe constitute
and define soul. In this series eye attempt to pick up where "The Archeology
of Soul" and "Cotton Field of Chants and Hollas" series left off.
These works look at not just the origins of Jazz music but instead takes the
viewer down the path of the construction of the Jazz Community and historically
crucial role of the Jazz Venue.
Metaphorically using, the urban transit logo, train tracks and rhythm of the
music, eye attempt to let that spirit of Jazz shine through. My use of paint
and color choices anchor the backdrop, eye use suggestive patterns that might
hint at the bright city lights displayed in many urban night spots worldwide.
With the addition of the piano keys, Icons and documented moments in Jazz History,
this series represents the nuance of Jazz Culture and reinforces its historical
Importance. These elements combined for me, brings classic Jazz into an artistic
contemporary present attempting to once again edge closer to the origins, ingredients
and understanding of SOUL. www.milton510.com

The JHC honors San Francisco’s contributions to jazz through educational
vehicles and by providing access to jazz images, artifacts, and music to ensure
that the city’s jazz legacy is communicated to today’s visitors and
future generations. Visitors to the JHC will have access to the history of jazz
in San Francisco, from its earliest origins, to its “Harlem of the West” heyday
in the 1940s and 1950s, to today where the new Yoshi’s San Francisco symbolizes
the Fillmore’s new jazz era.
As part of its focus on the Fillmore, the JHC will also promote and highlight
the contributions of the diverse communities that have called the neighborhood
their home, particularly African-Americans, as well as Jewish-Americans and Japanese-Americans.
Spread across 6,000-sq feet, the jazz experience at the JHC includes:
• The Lush Life Art Gallery which specializes in jazz-themed art
• The JHC Public Lobby which presents the history of jazz in the Fillmore and
hosts rotating exhibits dedicated to jazz and the cultural history of the Fillmore

and cds
• JHC Screening and Presentation Room which will show rare jazz films
and host lectures by jazz experts and jazz artists, including those that perform
