It’s always a pleasure to drop in at Visions in Liberty Station and see what interesting things they have on view. Here are a few of our favorites from a recent visit.
From We are Voices of Other Voices: A collaboration between makers of traditional wool textiles in the Zapotec community of Teotitlan del Valle in Oaxaca, Mexico, and eight contemporary artists.

Sunshine Smile by Timothy Emerson Hinchoff, from Fallbrook, CA. Composed of mountain pine pitch, beeswax, acrylic and nylon yarn, and plywood. |
An excerpt from Timothy Emerson Hinchoff's poem, included with his artwork:
“Feel blessed by the sun
Take a moment to feel his
rays.
A great big sunshine smile
To fill up all of our
days.”
These three exhibits will be
on view through October 4, 2025.
They’ll be followed by one big
event starting October 13: Biennial Interpretations.
But don’t wait that long to
visit Visions…you’ll be happy to see what’s there now.
