Sonoma Valley Museum of Art reveals 2026 summer exhibitions featuring John Paul Morabito and Norma I. Quintana

In the summer of 2026, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art will unveil two significant exhibitions. From May 9 to September 6, 2026, attendees can explore 'John Paul Morabito: Dancing in the Night' alongside 'Norma I. Quintana: Paradise of Memory / Paraíso de la Memoria.' Morabito, who identifies as a transdisciplinary weaver using they/them pronouns, crafts luxurious textile pieces through improvisational techniques with materials such as linen, cotton, gold-leaf threads, and beads. Their artwork celebrates Queer resilience and community vibrantly. Margie Maynard, the museum's deputy director of engagement & exhibitions, conveyed enthusiasm for showcasing Morabito's exquisite creations, which evoke the enchanting spirit of disco clubs. Concurrently, Quintana's exhibition will also be featured, although details about her work remain unspecified. The museum emphasizes its dedication to diverse artistic narratives.
