      Curator A. Laura Brody presents “Diverse City” a collaboration between The Arroyo Arts Collective and Underdog Bookstore, featuring artists Dellis Frank and Kacy Treadway.

      By Melanie Hooks

      The exhibition opens January 31, 2026, with a workshop led by both artists 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Underdog Bookstore, 312 S Myrtle Ave, Monrovia.

      All supplies are provided, free to the public. All store and artists’ collective events listed on the Underdog Bookstore website.

      Artists Dellis Frank and Kacy Treadway work in fiber and mixed media and care deeply about justice, reuse, and the state of the world. Dellis is every inch an educator, a loud and proud Black woman, a vibrant artist, and an outspoken advocate for social justice. Kacy is a quiet, White female, specialty costumer who has spent decades building other people’s dreams on screen, while also creating delightful, quirky pieces of her own. This is their first time working together.
