Carnival Images and Video

Carny Art featured artwork that is astonishing, adventurous, humorous, and intimately narrative. Opening in the middle of county and state fair season, this exhibition tapped into our long-time attraction to and fascination with the carnival and circus, exploring their mythology, texture, characters, and machinery.

This visually spectacular exhibition included work by photographers Arthur Grace, Greta Pratt, Roger Vail, Harvey Stein, Wendy Wiencek, and Gale Zucker; Bay Area artists Linda Kramer, Norma Quintana, Rachael Jablo, Laura Mrakovcich, and Sherry Karver; and New Mexico-based painter Victoria Carlson. Plus neon by Crockett’s Bill Concannon; carnival backdrops by Florida’s Johnny Meah (the Czar of Bizarre); and a compelling documentary film by New Jersey artist Melanie Heinrich, whose family has been in the Carny business for thirty years.
