This Saturday, August 21, join us for our last Mak

This Saturday, August 21, join us for our last Make & Mend session with award-winning "Color Duets" artist Erin Lee Gafill and mending expert and textile activist Jaki Canterbury! The duo will cultivate connection through the actions of making and repair, with an emphasis on textile arts and a gentle focus on stitching and handcrafts, but participants practicing all art forms are welcome to join. Unearth your mending pile, patch that pair of jeans, start a watercolor painting, or knit some rows on an ongoing project—all in the company of friends!

During the session, Erin and Jaki will cultivate group-led conversation, offer informal mentorship, and create space for optional skill-sharing via virtual break-out rooms. To register, visit: montereyart.org

On Sunday, August 22, the Museum will welcome Kenneth Parker to lead the tour. Parker is a large-format landscape colorist working principally in remote pristine wilderness areas throughout the world. He is drawn to elemental forces and their compelling magic, translating into arresting imagery the depths of these feelings, rich in power, radiant. His early experience as fine art color pioneer Eliot Porter’s field assistant helped to nurture a loving eye devoted to isolating and capturing the mysteries in nature that he struggled for decades to unravel as a research scientist in oceanography and global climate change. Ken is currently completing the captivating new portfolio Big Sur ~ Gentle Fury with its intimate compositions of rugged granitic pinnacles, wave sprays and tide pools along our magnificent shore.
