Art Lovers
The Art Lovers Club members have been
patiently (or maybe not so patiently) waiting
until we can meet together in person. We
miss seeing each other. In the meantime, we
must rely on virtual meetings and talks. Jayne
Spencer, water colorist, who was scheduled for
our April meeting will talk to us at a Zoom
session on the health benefits of being creative
on Tues., Aug. 18, at 1 pm. The Zoom invitation
will be sent to members a few weeks prior to
her presentation. In the fall we hope that she
can demonstrate her expertise in watercolor
painting in person.
As of this writing, none of our nearby
galleries or museums are open yet. However,
many do offer online experiences. Contact
Oceanside Museum of Art at www.oma-
online.org to view their many offerings. The
Lux Art Institute is closed but you can drive
by the Education Pavilion at 1550 E El Camino
Real, Encinitas and look through the window
to see Michelle Montjoy's knitted fabric
installations. Check out luxartinstitute.org/
artists/ for further information.
The William D. Cannon Gallery at the Dove
Library in Carlsbad will reopen in July and
we hope to visit the exhibit "Edges Frayed,"
embroidered art works by Bhavna Mehta,
Michelle Montjoy, and Irma Poeter. Event
details including the date, time and other
information will follow soon. Please call Paula
Doss at (760) 414-3437 or visit our website
at www.http://ohartlovers.wixsite.com/art-
lovers for more information.
Art room
We hope that the Clubhouse has been reopened for residents
to see and enjoy the renovations. We have tentatively scheduled a
Photography exhibit in the Art Room beginning in August. These
exhibits are usually up for 3 months, but will be determined as time
goes on.
Unfortunately, we no longer have the space behind the Front Desk
for monthly displays of art by our residents, as the design committee
has chosen permanent artwork for that area. Instead, the design
committee has allocated a framed space outside the Art Room, where
we can feature one artist each month.
We are looking forward to be more active and seeing more friendly
faces in our welcoming community. Maybe those faces will have a
mask on but we can tell when a person is smiling back at us.
Hope to see you soon. ~ Judy Harris and Lainy Vinikow
