Pete Escovedo performs for the Festival's Fourth Annual Latin Jazz concert.  A journeyman percussionist and band leader, Mr. Escovedo was a key player in "Santana", the most influential Latin Rock group in history. 

Pete has also performed or recorded with Herbie Hancock, Anita Baker, Arturo Sandoval, Sheila E, Chick Corea and many others. Our yearly "latin Jazz" concerts, held around Valentine's Day, have been a smashing success for the last three years. When Pete Escovedo takes the stage with his Timpales, you'll see why these shows bring fans from far and wide to enjoy this lively music, so important to our local heritage.

Nomi Wagner and Karen Santo will display their art in A Passion for Painting, a show at Fox Fine Jewelry running from January 21 through March 15, 2010.

Artists' Reception will be Saturday, January 23rd, 6 - 9 pm.

Wagner is a digital portrait artist. The process begins with a blank canvas on a computer screen. She uses a photograph for inspiration, but does not manipulate the original image. Instead, she paints stroke by stroke in a conventional watercolor style. Technology has given her the freedom to experiment and innovate. It has enabled her to paint not just the likeness, but to catch the true essence of her subjects as well.

Karen Santo's paintings invite you to step inside. Lie on your back and view the crimson sunset, picnic amongst the autumn leaves by the river, or wind your way through the desert wild brush. Santo's careful use of tone and color create a three dimensionality to her canvases.

Written By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Jenny Sullivan

Set at a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play concerns a strict headmistress with exacting standards who believes that in order for students to be prepared for the harsh world, her teachers must use discipline rather than compassion. She comes to suspect a new priest of sexually abusing a student, but some doubt remains, and she cannot prove her allegations. If she charges him, she will certainly destroy his career, and perhaps her own. She questions an idealistic young nun and the mother of the accused boy, the first black student ever admitted to the school.

This thought-provoking story leaves us with questions about what has-and should have-happened, who is right or wrong, and the nature of faith and love. Audiences will debate the issues of the play long after it has ended. Rubicon Artistic Associate Jenny Sullivan directs company member Joseph Fuqua* (Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Hamlet) and Robin Pearson Rose (All My Sons, You Can't Take It With You) in this searing drama.

Phone: (805) 643-6000
Admission: Free

Ricardo Rodriguez's work questions the ordinary, finding alternate realities in every day objects.  [Mis] perceptoins is a photographic exhibit that plays with the verisimilitude of the medium and how it affects the viewer.  By shifting the typical presentation of an object, through size, scale and isolation, the viewer's perception of the object also shifts.  A new reality emerges and the essence or meaning of the object changes, a transformed truth.

 Artists' Reception: February 11, 5-7:30pm

Refreshments served and free parking for reception.

The Magical Realism of the Americans: The Art of Master Painter Omar d'León.

 The exhibit includes several of d'León's recent works which have never been shown.

An artist's reception open to the public is on Thursday, December 10, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., at the museum's 89 S. California Street location in Ventura.

The artist is known for his light reflecting colors and surface textures, created by crosshatch scoring through pigment and wax sometimes more then 20 layers deep. The exhibition includes photographs of this process, as well as d'León's tools and sketchbooks.

A Camarillo resident for more than 20 years, d'León experienced beauty and abundance as well as violence and loss in his native country. Studying at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Nicaragua, he combined an Impressionistic use of light and color with the magical realism traditions of Central America, which earned him critical acclaim at an early age.

Please join us for an opening reception, January 9, 3-5pm and
January 23, 3:00PM - Continuum Panel Discussion
 

Forty years ago Robert von Sternberg glimpsed the enormous diversity of artistic photography in the greater Los Angeles area and while acting as a guest curator for the Downey Museum of Art in 1969 set out to create an exhibition, entitled "Continuum", that would illustrate that specific diversity within a continuum. This exhibition at the Sylvia White Gallery follows the trajectory of some of the original participants but also includes newer members that have also dedicated their lives to careers in art often as university educators and prominent artists using photographic materials to share their vision.

Lewis Baltz, Jo Ann Callis, Eileen Cowin, Darryl Curran, Robbert Flick, Anthony Friedkin, Robert Heinecken, Susan Rankaitis, Jerry McMillan, Jane O'Neal, Robert von Sternberg, Todd Walker.

Architectural Fantasies and Portraits by Edwin Maltz.

Artist Reception: Saturday, February 6, 4-7pm 

Maltz brings a harmonious connection between the structure of place and the soft graceful lines of the figures of his focus. The two subjects intermingle with each other as a story book does with words and illustration. The narrative among his strokes, lines and shadows of his images, capture our interest and lure you in for a closer listen.  Many of Maltz's images begin in the studio or on a drafting board, studies of a model or a place he's visited, perhaps a European piazza from a travel abroad or a well rehearsed and translated passage from a history book.  From there here takes us to a place from the past or to a place we can visit from his own imagination.
