JAVIER CARRILLO (FILM)

I’ve known Javier Carrillo since he was 19 years old. He was one of my art students at Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA). I was instantly impressed by his astonishing ability to draw. Javier shows his paintings and prints at Craig Krull Gallery in Los Angeles, and was chosen for a one-man show at Bakersfield Museum of Art. His work can be found in many collections including the Hammer and the USC Fisher Musuem of Art. He currently heads the printmaking department at Art Division.

OAXACA RUG PROJECT 2019

This year Art Division began the Oaxaca Rug Project.
Teotitlán del Valle is a village east of Oaxaca City known for its weavers.
Six of our students have had their designs woven into woolen rugs as part of our Oaxaca / Art Division exchange. These rugs are hand woven by Jerónimo and Josefina Hernández who have collaborated with world renown artists for over 30 years and whose family have been at the center of the Teotitlán weaving community for centuries.

A DAY IN THE LIFE AT ART DIVISION

The process behind the, “A Day in the Life at Art Division” video stems from the idea that the experience here can feel at times, continuous. Each segment was directed by Carcacha Collective members; Gareth Imparato, Jordan Vazcones, Chase Niesner, Matias Anaya, Milton Lazaro, Andy Rivera, and Roberto Ortiz. Behind the camera for every segment, Sarah Park and producing for the entire project, Javi Sebastian and Sarah Neal. 
Every Segment— each with its own personality—helps illustrate what life at Art Division is. From the instructors, to the artists taking workshops - having fun, to the camaraderie shared amongst said artists. In the end, community serves as the building block from conception to the realization of the project.
