Calendar of Events


January 1 to February 28, 2009: Gallery Los Olivos presents: “Explorations In Art” All Glo member show “Explorations in Art” is a new (never before tried) show at Gallery Los Olivos during January and February of 2010. This show will be on exhibit from Friday, January 1st through Sunday, February 28th. A reception with the artists will be held Saturday, January 16th, 2 - 4 p.m. This exhibit will showcase the talents of current Gallery Members. The front gallery will be aglow with art work different from each artist's current media, style, technique, or format. For example, watercolor artist Martha Inman Lorch will enter a digitally manipulated image as well as a collaborative piece with photographer Paul Roark. Paul, who has developed his own inks, will ink an image onto watercolor paper and Martha will bring the image to completion with her watercolors. Jeweler Patricia Watkins will display watercolor and pastel chalks inspired by Spanish architecture which abounds in our state. Minnie Anderson, who currently shows traditional graphite portraits, will hang big bold abstracts in acrylics. Thus this show will be about the individual growth, exploration, and expansion of each artist's comfort zone. What is art, if not this! The gallery is located at 2920 Grand Avenue in Los Olivos, CA, telephone (805) 688-7517, open daily 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information www.gallerylosolivos.com
