The Prowler
Save for the much-loved personalized license plate column--which the Prowler plans to reprise soon--this cat tries to write about an eclectic array of events. This week, however, features a one-track column, due in part to the Prowler feeling lazy from the heat, and due in part to an inundation of arts groups simultaneously pitching their creative causes.
The mysteries of the spirit and of memory are the themes of two mixed media artists, Joanne Stephens and Giacinto Prete, in their exhibit currently being installed at the Los Gatos Museum of Art and Natural Science, 4 Tait Ave. The show opens on June 7 and runs through Aug. 5. An artists' reception-- with refreshments, of course--takes place June 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. Museum hours are Wednesday through Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m.
The Tait Museum's cousin, Forbes Mill Regional History Museum at 75 Church St., is also in the midst of preparing a new installation. "Riding the Picnic Trains" pulls into town from June 6 to Sept. 2, and tells the multimedia story of what was perhaps the most successful narrow gauge railroad in California History--the South Pacific Coast Railroad that ran from Alameda to Santa Cruz.
The Los Gatos Art Association invites interested members of the public to attend its June 9 meeting at 1 p.m., at which time watercolorist Doris Olsen will demonstrate how to use digital prints to work out watercoloring difficulties, without jeopardizing original artwork by overworking it. The meeting is at the First United Methodist Church, 19 High School Court. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served.
