ENJOY THE CITY'S PUBLIC ART EXHIBITION "Derek Schimming: An Artist Retrospective" AT the City Gallery AT CITY HALL THROUGH OCTOBER 25
The City of Malibu Arts Commission invites all of Malibu to enjoy the City’s fall public art exhibition at the Malibu City Gallery, “Derek Schimming: An Artist Retrospective” on display September 16 through October 25 at Malibu City Hall (23825 Stuart Ranch Road).
The exhibition is a tribute to Derek Schimming, a beloved Malibu artist with a deep love for surfing and belief in its healing powers. Derek passed away unexpectedly in May 2024, and was known to express himself through his paintings. He conveyed his life events, emotions, and important locations, through paint and canvas. Working primarily with oils and acrylics, Derek’s non-traditional methods and style produced unique and vivid works with layers of detail and depth.
Fifteen of Schimming’s large abstract expressionist works will be on display along with various artworks from members of the Malibu Art Association, where Derek Schimming was an active board member.
Arts Commission Chair Fireball Tim Lawrence spoke about Derek’s commitment to Malibu: “Derek Schimming was a shining example of the very essence of Malibu, not only with his art and love of people, but in his ever-present, helping gestures that served the community and its residents and children, and the betterment of the town we cherish. He will be greatly missed.”
The Malibu City Gallery is on the lower level of Malibu City Hall (23825 Stuart Ranch Road) and is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission to the gallery is free. Tickets and RSVPs are not required.
