Because of the Jesusita Fire we have all understandably had our minds on things other than art. The fire forced the cancellation of this month’s First Thursday, so I can’t report about any of the new exhibitions around town because I haven’t seen them. I would, therefore, like to encourage everyone to make the short trip to Carpinteria tomorrow to attend the opening of the first annual Anderson Art Collective. As I reported in my last post, this family of talented artists has been part of many exciting art happenings around town. Tomorrow nights show is also a benefit for a non-profit school for underprivileged youths in South Africa.
You can get all the details at their website by clicking here.
Don’t forget that they’ve asked people to bring something smaller than their hand to contribute to a art project that will be created during the event.
I hope to see you there.

Nathan,
Thanks for your updates on this blog! Westmont’s Reynolds Gallery also had an ingathering on May 16 for “Views and Visions.” It’s the only juried show in Montecito and one of only a few in SB. The opening reception is this Thursday, 4-6 p.m. Let me know if I can e-mail you more info, or there’s a press release online here: http://blogs.westmont.edu/public_affairs/2009/05/18/interior-space-takes-shape/
Thanks again,
Sarah
