Column: SDSU professors’ ‘Small Acts’ exhibition packs big, bold thoughts into pint-sized packages
By Karla Peterson March, San Diego Union Tribune, March 26, 2022 6:02 AM PT

Excerpt:
​"In “Object Lessons,” San Diego artist Lynn Susholtz uses illustrations from a 1964 grade-school primer to examine her own ideas about what it means to be queer, and what the artists behind the illustrations might have been saying about queer life in the still-closeted 1960s."

Lynn Susholtz highlighted in the San Diego Union Tribune

Artist and educator Lynn Susholtz, a mainstay of North Park for decades, sees the neighborhood as her canvas - by Martina Schimitschek, San Diego Union Tribune  November 16, 2018

Lynn Susholtz has a citizen artist logo with a raised fist holding a paint brush. But for Susholtz, who embodies the term citizen artist, a superhero would also be an apt symbol.

For decades, the artist, educator and activist has been a fixture in North Park, a place she calls home, where she has her studio and runs a non-profit community space, which includes a gallery and sustainable urban garden. She also consults at schools, mentors artists and college students and is on the North Park Main Street board of directors.

For Susholtz, it’s all part of being an artist.
​
"I think being an artist is probably the most encompassing part of my work,” she says. “I employ educational and learning opportunities in my art. I see that as an art form. Community engagement work can also be considered an art form."

​Fall arts: Dancer Blythe Barton pushes 'the boundaries of physicality'
By Marcia Manna, San Diego Union Tribune, September 17, 2017

Excerpt from the article:
Besides dance, name an artistic or cultural endeavor that inspires you here in San Diego.

Lynn Susholtz at Art Produce has created a space in North Park that makes art grow. Her combination gallery/studio/garden provides artists a location for experimentation and self-exploration. It is also a venue for those who didn’t know they needed art in their lives to fall in love with its textures, tastes and adventures. A community of people who aren’t typical art-goers: low-income seniors, immigrants, refugees, non-English speakers, families from out of town, come to interact and engage.

Each time I look into the gallery window, I have been intrigued by work that has included knitted tunnels from the ceiling, peek-a-boo art that makes me take a step closer, and videos that bring the outside in via the moving body.

​I first met Lynn many years ago as a patron of dance, and have come to know her as someone who will go out of her way to connect people with people, art makers with art lovers, and eager minds with engaging activities that encourage expression from even the most cynical creators. Lynn’s Art Produce resonates for me the reasons I dance: to offer a snippet of myself for sharing, with the hope of igniting a spark in someone else’s creative soul.

Culture Report: The North Park Building Where You Can Eat, Mingle, Create, and Vote
By Kinsee Morlan May 10, 2016


When Lynn Susholtz first bought the big building at University and Herman avenues in North Park, she knew exactly what she wanted the former grocery store to become – a place for the community and culture to come together.

It’s taken 15 years, but Susholtz can finally look around Art Produce and feel like she’s just about done it.

“It’s coming into a place I had always imagined,” she said.

Art Produce continues to grow
By Seth Combs May 10, 2016

Lynn Susholtz proudly looks around the garden and communal area of Art Produce, an art gallery and multi-use building in North Park. Five years ago, the garden area was an asphalt parking lot populated by homeless people. Nowadays, in addition to the communal picnic tables and potted herbs, there's a new sign, a new brewery tasting room and workers bustling to install new lights throughout the outside area.

It'd be easy to assume that Art Produce, after 15 years in business, is going through a second phase of growth and expansion, but Susholtz is quick to point out that the building's new additions and programs have been years in the making.

"This is phase 3.5 or something," says Susholtz, chuckling. She says there have been monumental changes over the years despite the consistent issue of funding. "I've always tried tot stay ahead of the neighborhood. To be flexible and responsive to the neighborhood while retaining an artist-centered cultural venue."
