Aegis Gallery is 'foolin' around'
The member artists at Saratoga's Aegis Gallery of Fine Art have just completed installing a group show, called "Foolin' Around," which runs through April 29. With a title inspired by the first of April, the show is billed as featuring "jesters, fools and playful things" and "sensual creations with an imaginative twist." Mediums used include paintings, collages, photography, ceramics, paper sculpture, masks and blown and fused art glass.
Aegis Gallery is at 14531 Big Basin Way, unit 2, in the Saratoga Village. For gallery hours, call 408.867.0171 or visit www.aegisgallery.com on the Internet.

Crabtree covers adventure racing
Among the spring programs and workshops it offers to the community, REI Saratoga has invited Kristen Crabtree of Playscriptions to give a slide presentation titled "Adventure Racing 101" on April 9 at 7 p.m.
