The Mouth That Poured

 

UPDATE: The first stage of restoring the lagoon inlet was completed on May 13!  Work on the lagoon mouth will be continued in early June with City equipment to remove more sand, including the piles that are there right now that could not be removed.

Art in the Pines 2013

In spite of wind, blown down canopies, stormy skies, and rain at the end, visitors and their children came, had fun, bought art, and saw our Reserve through the eyes of the artist.

The event featured high quality, diverse works by talented artists, photographers, ceramists, and fiber artists. Visitors enjoyed nature walks and children's art activities. Demos by participating artists were offered in the North and West Overlooks in painting, flint knapping and weaving. Live music was provided by Sara Mussen, the Jazz Ensemble from Mission Bay High School, the Minerva String Quartet, Jen Hajj, the Endangered Speciez Band, and Joe Marillo.
