A new artist takes the spotlight in Projecting Possibilities, our ongoing digital art series created in partnership with . Each month, we invite a local creative to transform the Helms campus after dark, turning the doors of the Helms Design Center into a canvas for ideas, stories, and perspective.

This June, we're proud to feature the work of Culver Arts grant recipient Maria Kurtz. Born and raised in Italy, Maria developed her artistic perspective surrounded by a culture deeply rooted in art and design. After exploring a variety of mediums, she found her voice through oil painting. Today, the landscapes and light of coastal California inspire work that captures the stillness, beauty, and restorative qualities of nature.

Through her paintings, Maria invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world. As she puts it, "nature is a blessing."

View Maria's work projected nightly onto the entry doors of the Helms Design Center from 8:00 PM to 2:00 AM.

Join us at the Helms Design Center on June 2 for an evening with architect, educator, and author Michael Murphy, celebrating the launch of Our World in Ten Buildings: How Architecture Defines Who We Are and How We Live.

As the founder of MASS Design Group and president of AMMA, has spent his career exploring how the spaces around us shape human experience—from healthcare and memorials to civic life and public gathering places. In his new book, he examines the often-unseen ways architecture influences how we connect, heal, move, and belong.

Murphy will be joined by multidisciplinary artist and landscape designer Lily Kwong, whose immersive, plant-filled installations invite us to consider our relationship with nature, community, and collective care. Together, they'll explore the powerful intersection of architecture, landscape, and culture—and the ways thoughtful design can shape a more connected world.

Please join on the Arts on Saturday, May 23rd between 4:00 and 6:00 PM as they host a book signing with Andrew MacPherson to celebrate his exquisite new volume of floral images from the West, Synchronicity. Come and meet the iconic fashion and celebrity photographer and snap up a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. If you cannot attend and would like to purchase a signed copy, please place your order here via

Over the last thirty years living in Los Angeles, noted fashion and celebrity photographer marveled at the flora and fauna that thrive and survive in our harsh, often drought-stricken climate.

“However, it wasn’t until embarking on this project in earnest that I really began to appreciate them. What began as a daily diary of the flowers seen on hikes soon morphed into a celebration of the beauty of all the flowers I’d see on my travels across the Southwest. As I discovered more and more flora and fauna, the idea germinated that these pictures should become a book to share their fabulous fleeting beauty. Arranged loosely by color, these pages are bookended by purple flowers as it’s the predominant color of the flora across the Southwest. This book was never meant to be a complete catalog of cultivars, it is an invitation to walk with me amongst the glorious flowers of the American Southwest. While Los Angeles is famous for its glitz, glamour, and sunshine, its mild Mediterranean climate is also home to a stunning array of both native wildflowers and cultivated imports. Some ephemerals blossom for just a day or two every few years, while others blanket vast swaths of the hills, mountains, and deserts for weeks at a time. Many ornamental cultivars have jumped their garden fences to spread out along the roadsides and hills, some have even penetrated deep into the wilderness. Most pose no threat to the indigenous plants, but several have become destructively invasive. In a city of migrants that was all wild open land not that long ago, their spread seems to mirror our own.” – Andrew MacPherson

Please join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday, May 9th, from 4 until 6 pm, to celebrate the launch of Shaniqwa Jarvis’ beautiful new book GUTS.

GUTS (Super Labo, 2026), with an introduction by Essence Harden, is a 120-page offering of Jarvis’ inner world; an unfolding of florals, self-portraits, double exposures, and editorial images that resist a fixed narrative. Instead, they function as reflective pauses, grounded in the act of noticing beauty in unexpected places.

Flowers signal perseverance and the instinct to grow against all odds, while editorial portraits blur into self-portraiture, shaped by Jarvis’ hand and presence. Water, windows, and reflections recur throughout, holding a tension between how we believe we are seen and how we see ourselves.

Made across South Africa, Greece, Korea, New York, Japan, California, and the Pacific Northwest, GUTS is a meditation on reflection, perseverance, and veneration—of nature, emotion, and the quiet moments that shape how we move through the world.

* Books will be available for sale at the event

* will be on hand to sign books and generally make everyone’s day brighter with her presence.

* If you cannot attend and would like a signed copy of GUTS, please contact directly. Should there be copies remaining after the event, we will fulfill requests in the order in which they have been received.

* Thanks to for their support!

Come for the book signing, stay for the conversation.
