SUMMARY:Texture: Proof of Presence
DESCRIPTION:Texture: Proof of Presence\, curated by Gail F. Enns and Christine Crozier\, centers on the experiences of three artists and a poet\, each of whom has had a unique relationship to the Monterey peninsula. Each has a story to tell\, and their work is imbued with various humanistic and social messages. However\, each artist uses texture in assertive ways that it becomes one of their work’s most attractive and important features. The exhibition is designed to promote cultural understanding\, community engagement\, and creativity. Workshops\, poetry readings\, and lectures by the artists\, curators\, and others will facilitate and enhance an understanding of the art presented in the exhibition. Patrick Frank\, well known arts writer and curator has written the catalog introduction. \n\n\n\nOctober 4\, 2024 through January 4\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 4\, 5:30 – 7 pm \n\n\n\n5:30\, informal talk with Patrick Frank\, Author: Prebles ArtForms; Manifestos and Polemics in Latin American Modern Art; Art of the 1980s As If the Digital Mattered \n\n\n\n550 Central Ave.\, Pacific Grove(831) 648-5760www.pacificgrovelibrary.org \n\n\n\nSee all Texture events. \n\n\n\nTexture flyer. \n\n\n\n.Ruth Bolduan’s paintings fuse together her love of Chinoiserie\, the sea\, and the brilliant colors and elements of fantasy and romanticism found in Parisian art\, to create an evocation of shimmering evanescence\, an embodiment of the hidden and the revealed in art.Jacqueline Canterbury’s work revolves around salvaged clothing\, addresses social and political norms\, and questions conventional functions. Her work is mostly remade from historic textiles and wearable sources\, derived from flea markets\, thrift stores\, and antique shops.Lydia Nakashima Degarrod feels there are many similarities between the landscape vistas and flora of Chile\, where she was born\, and Pacific Grove. She visits the peninsula often to explore natural materials indigenous to both places to create the paper used in her three-dimensional Displacements\, an installation in the Texture\, Proof of Presence.Heidi McGurrin writes her poetry with a curiosity to find answers hidden in the shadows— apparent\, nearby\, and seemingly forbidden. She wonders about indigenous peoples\, their beauty\, their poverty\, and social injustice\, near and far away. She questions family roots and her relationship to the world she was born into. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation\, the Whitney Latham-Lechich Trust\, the Jean Laws Fund\, and Celadon Arts\, Texture\, Proof of Presence\, plans to bring a diverse group of visitors including students from the elementary as well as high school\, adults and seniors—locals and visitors from all over. During its three-month run\, there will be weekly events open to the public including a guest reception\, poetry readings\, talks\, workshops\, and demonstrations.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Ruth Bolduan and Heidi McGurrin.
DESCRIPTION:Conversation with Ruth Bolduan and Heidi McGurrin. \n\n\n\nModerator Richard Whittaker\, publisher and editor of Works and Conversations and Conversations.org \n\n\n\nFriday\, October 11\, 5:30 – 7 pm \n\n\n\nRuth Bolduan has deep connections to Pacific Grove where she was part of a group of artists connected to the Anton Inn\, for over 10 years. Her work in this show is based on earlier work shown at the Inn where the sea\, Chinoiserie\, Monterey\, and Paris are fused together to create an evocation of shimmering evanescence\, an embodiment of the hidden and the revealed in art. Bolduan has shown at various art spaces on the peninsula and has had a solo exhibition with the Monterey History and Art Association. She is a Professor Emerita of art at Virginia Commonwealth University\, and resides in Richmond\, VA. Recent travel to Paris\, Beijing and Shanghai has confirmed her desire to place the riches and complexities of these ancient cultures at the heart of her work. \n\n\n\nHeidi McGurrin is a poet\, painter\, photographer and writer. Although poetry has always been a part of her artistic vocabulary\, it was only in 2017 that she began to share her poems with the public through such groups as the Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium\, and the Illia Thompson memoir writers and other poetry groups. She has published two books titled\, Havana Dream\, and Poetic Landscapes\, Memories of My life\, which can be found on the website www.blurb.com in the bookstore section. She is the granddaughter of the founder an artists’ colony which is today Carmel-by-the-Sea\, and lives on the Monterey peninsula where she creates artwork and teaches poetry and painting to children from nearby coastal towns. \n\n\n\nSee all Texture events. \n\n\n\nTexture flyer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation\, the Whitney Latham-Lechich Trust\, the Jean Laws Fund\, and Celadon Arts\, Texture\, Proof of Presence\, plans to bring a diverse group of visitors including students from the elementary as well as high school\, adults and seniors—locals and visitors from all over.

SUMMARY:Dine Out with Friends at Il Vecchio October 30
DESCRIPTION:Dine Out With Friends at Il Vecchio. The creator of il vecchio\, Carl Alasko\, lived in Rome between 1963 and 1974. During those eleven years Carl absorbed Italian culture and a taste for great Italian food. Before opening Il Vecchio\, Carl’s Italian daughter\, Saroja\, convinced the owner of Maccheroni to send his head chef to Pacific Grove to teach the staff at Il Vecchio how to achieve the precise timing and blending of ingredients that’s at the core of traditional recipes. The original head chef\, Stefen Shatto\, returned to the restaurant along with his mother\, Kelly\, to acquire Il Vecchio in June 2024. Their acquisition of Il Vecchio was not just a business endeavor but a heartfelt continuation of the restaurant’s legacy. \n\n\n\nFollowing the tradition of a Roman neighborhood trattoria\, Il Vecchio is pleased to offer delicious\, fresh made Italian food. Traditional recipes with fresh ingredients. Everything is made on the premises from scratch. They have the best wines at truly affordable prices and many gluten free options. They are open for dinner from 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm. They will donate a portion of their dinner proceeds to the Friends. This is a delicious way to support the library.
