'Organica: Flora to Fauna' at Granger Hotel
About the Event
The Granger Hotel and JFiN Collective welcomes the community to the opening of "Organica: Flora to Fauna," the second exhibition in the Granger Art Program's Border series, featuring 14 regional artists.
Opening Thursday, May 21 at 8 p.m.!
Daily Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily
Curated by Jennifer Findley, Director of Arts and Culture at Oram Hotels and founder of JFiN Collective, "Organica" brings together fourteen regional artists from Southern California and across the border. The exhibition is installed across the hotel's salon, lobby, and art studio.
The exhibition runs May 21 through December 31, 2026.
The works span painting, sculpture, installation and mixed media, tracing the boundary between plant, animal and human life. From photorealist animal studies to speculative botanical ecologies, Organica places the human body within the same continuum as root systems, fungal networks, and nocturnal habitats. An exhibition about coexistence and the natural world on its own terms.
The exhibition continues the Granger Art Program's evolving dialogue with artists engaged in ecological and speculative inquiry, including the ongoing art-in-residence initiative with Max Hooper Schneider, the first emerging artist commissioned for UC San Diego's Stuart Collection, whose work engages future ecologies and evolving life systems.
