Here's some exciting news from the City of Temecula Community Services:
– The City of Temecula Community Services Department and the Temecula Valley Museum are proud to host the exhibition, CONFLUENCE: The Art of Tony & Jennifer Moramarco. This exhibition, which opened MAR 21, 2025 and will remain on display until JUN 15, 2025, in the second-floor gallery at the Temecula Valley Museum (28314 Mercedes Street). In addition to the exhibition, Tony will host a Gallery Talk on the couple’s work at the Temecula Valley Museum on SAT, APR 19, 2025, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. The arts unite us, spark creativity, boost mental health, and strengthen social bonds. Temecula recognizes the importance and talent of local artists within our community by highlighting the essential role they play in cultural preservation, economic growth, and community vitality. Artists are much more than creators – they are essential contributors to thriving, resilient communities. Tony & Jennifer Moramarco have teamed up to showcase their blend of artistic styles at their first joint art exhibition. CONFLUENCE showcases their combined talents. Tony’s versatile work blends bold lines and vivid colors in his pop-art-inspired pieces, working primarily with acrylics, ink, and mixed media. His artistic journey is deeply rooted in his love for cartoons and pop culture, which he channels into his work and community projects, such as founding Temecula’s annual pop-culture event, Cartoon-A Paloozah. Jennifer’s art draws inspiration from the natural world, creating abstract paintings that showcase her love of color balance and texture. Her style combines elements of Abstract Expressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Cubism, using layers of acrylics, natural earth pigments, and mixed media to evoke depth and movement. Together, the Moramarcos own Bigfoot Art Classes / Gallery M, a creative hub where they mentor aspiring artists and collaborate on projects. This exhibit highlights the confluence of their unique styles, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of their artistic visions and the stories they tell through their work.
