Dream walking show at the Women's Museum of California

The exhibit Night Stand will be showing at the Women's Museum of California from November 3-27, 2016     This is a very inventive show by members of the FIG group.  Each artist has let her imagination run riot to reconfigure a bedside night stand reflecting dreams and fears that creep up on us.  It is a fascinating show and I am happy to have a sculpture included. The FIG group blog has some great pictures and commentary on the work on exhibit.  http://fig-art.blogspot.com/

Hours: Wednesday thru Sunday, 12-4 PM.
2730 Historic Decatur Rd in Liberty Station.
