Assemblage Play Day
The Grace Hudson Museum came alive with creativity during ‘Assemblage Play Day’, a one-day pop-up art camp held by Spencer Brewer and Esther Siegel of Harmony Gaits. From 10 AM to 4:30 PM, participants of all experience levels immersed themselves in the playful, expressive world of assemblage art—combining everyday objects in unexpected ways to create their own unique, small to medium-sized art pieces.
Guided by Brewer and Siegel’s expertise and encouragement, attendees explored storytelling through found materials, letting imagination take the lead. The event offered a hands-on experience that sparked creativity and brought the community together through art.
'Frame It' Show
A collaborative assemblage art show featuring pieces made by the artists who participated in the ‘Outta the Box’ assemblage camps in 2024
The show ran through the month of July.

Spencer Brewer and Esther Siegel of ‘Harmony Gaits’ began these camps out of a desire to share the assemblage art form with others and to create a community of like-minded artists. Each piece featured in this group show was comprised of some sort of case and uniquely designed from found/discarded objects into a personal expression of each person’s creativity. This was a fun and engaging exhibition comprised of all the assemblage sculptures made in the camps.
Harmony Gaits is Spencer Brewer and Esther Siegel’s ranch assemblage art studio in Redwood Valley. Once a month they host ’Outta the Box’ assemblage Art camps to folks of all ages. This show is the second assemblage show displaying pieces from five different assemblage camps. It will be a first time for many artists to participate in an art show, so everyone is excited!
