Group Exhibition: Love All: A Survey on Civic Wellness
Dates: September 6 - October 4, 2025
Reception: September 6 | 6-8 PM
Glass Rice is proud to present Love All: A Survey on Civic Wellness, a group exhibition co-curated with Prince Boucher of Mission Athletic Club.
Love All presents a living portrait of civic wellness through the lens of sport, movement, and artistic expression. This exhibition gathers works that echo across tennis courts and city blocks, where line calls, lunges, and laughter form a visual language of shared play and public ritual.
Founded not in a gallery but on public courts, Mission Athletic Club is a San Francisco-based civic community that reimagines sport as a vehicle for connection, mutual care, and public stewardship. With over 2,000 active members and no fixed address, the club operates like a moving organism, assembling daily across public spaces to serve, rally, rotate, and return. Love All is both a celebration and a document: a record of a community in motion and a call to reconsider who gets to move, where, and together.
Titled after the opening score of a tennis match, where both players begin in parity, Love All repurposes a familiar phrase into a philosophical provocation. What if our games didn’t begin at zero, but from love? What if our fields of play doubled as sites of resistance, intimacy, and inclusion?
The exhibition features photography, painting, sculpture, and mixed media from a spectrum of contributors: professional artists whose practice engages with themes of sport and movement. Some works are literal in their references—rackets, nets, sweat, and bounce—while others are meditations on rhythm, power, vulnerability, and control.
Here, the tennis court becomes a civic stage. A training ground not only for athleticism but for becoming public with one another. In a time when access to space, attention, and care feels increasingly privatized, Love All insists that the act of playing together is radical. The joy of return, whether ball or body, is what allows us to keep showing up.
As the exhibition unfolds alongside the rhythms of the club’s programs, its opening, talks, and gatherings become extensions of the gallery itself. A match play of movement and reflection, rigor and softness, competition and collaboration.
Love All asks not just what art can do for sport, but what sport can do for art. And what both can do for the commons.
