ICA San Diego will present a wall-to-wall display of cards
and other pieces of art created over four decades by former
artist and La Jollan Patti Cooprider to honor her legacy and
raise money to help fulfill her dream to give children access
to art education. e posthumous exhibition already includes
about 500 cards and works of art from the Cooprider home,

who received them. e presentation of work, helmed by her
husband of nearly 62 years, Coop Cooprider, will coincide
with the formation of the Patti's Spirit Lives! KidsArtEd
