Same Face. Different Emotions.
Artist Reception: Saturday, February 14, 2026 | 6:00–9:00 PM
The dA Center for the Arts is proud to present Same Face. Different Emotions., a two-part interactive art exhibition by Pomona-based artist AngelOnce, opening Saturday, January 10th with a second event on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM.
Same Face. Different Emotions. explores the emotional experiences we all share — including love, anger, and mixed emotions — through the artist’s signature character, Charlie the Elephant. The work is playful, expressive, and accessible to viewers of all ages, inviting both reflection and conversation.
This exhibition is designed to be interactive. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the space, share how they are feeling, and participate in the evolving artwork. As guests add their voices and emotions, the exhibition grows and transforms throughout its run.
By blending visual art with audience participation, Same Face. Different Emotions. creates a welcoming environment where emotions are acknowledged, shared, and celebrated. The exhibition emphasizes empathy, emotional awareness, and community connection — reminding visitors that everyone who enters becomes part of the story.

“This exhibition is a look into the past, present, and future of the Chicanx Latinx community. Presence is powerful, especially during times when the current administration doesn’t want our presence around. The beauty and diversity the Latinx Chicanx community has to offer is something to be proud of. We are much more than an economical factor in the United States; we are humans that deserve rights and respect...”
The dA Center for the Arts will continue the September & October tradition to recognize and laud the history, culture and contributions from Latinx/Chicanx Artists as cultural leaders who excel at applying the arts, music, & poetry to advocate for social justice. These artists are civic responders to the call for action. They lift causes and people and offer empathy and a light of hope in oppressive times through their artwork, songs, and words. Special recognition to the Facebook group Collectors Of Chicano/Latino Art and Allies who have been so supportive of this exhibition.
