An exhibition by Jasmine Gonzalez & Aaron Crocker

We Like Lompoc is a celebration of creativity, community, and the often satirical ways we express pride in our city. 

Through their unique perspectives, artists Jasmine Gonzalez (aka Manic Creative) and Aaron Crocker explore what it means to like Lompoc, embrace absurdity, and relish the creative process.

The exhibition is a showcase of vulnerability, curiosity, and the audacity to like something loudly. Both artists are members of the Lompoc Valley Art Association's Board of Directors, as well as community leaders, content creators, and entrepreneurs who believe in the power of loving one another, approaching life with a childlike mindset, challenging perspectives, and recognizing the beauty in the weird and wonderful.

The community is invited to explore a curated collection of artwork celebrating Lompoc. Visitors can expect mixed-media 2D and 3D assemblages, photography, and large-scale upcycled artwork, with local history, community pride and actual parts of Lompoc, woven throughout the body of work.

At its heart, We Like Lompoc is a love letter to their favorite city, the place they call home.
