The potential of human creativity is celebrated in a fantastic exhibition in La Jolla.
Art that was created by practical designers is now being showcased inside the Wisteria Cottage, which operates as the museum of the La Jolla Historical Society. The exhibition is titled Space Maker.
Technical designers–such as architects–often enhance their work with artistic practices. Space Maker explores this fusion. It includes the work of many local visionaries, including the likes of Robert Irwin, Eugene Ray and Sim Bruce Richards.
You’ll be surprised by the range of work in the exhibition: from visual art that is puzzle-like or oddly geometric, to futuristic blueprints, to stained glass that appears 3-dimensional, to textile artwork featuring complex patterns . . .
It’s hard to describe everything you’ll encounter–it’s so very diverse. But that’s the genius of creativity, right?
Two sculptures standing outside of the Wisteria Cottage are also part of the exhibition. I posted photos of them earlier today.
I recommend a visit. But you have one more week. Space Maker inside the Wisteria Cottage continues through June 7, 2026.

I went to the La Jolla library today. I assume the show is in the Community Room. It was closed when I visited.
