Nov 8-Dec 24 The Alchemists. A curated collection of six West Coast artists each bringing their artistic sensibilities to the transformational power of alchemy. Artists have long recognized the symbolic potency of the alchemical, both in processes and subject matter, finding richness of meaning in the connections between the worlds: spiritual and material, conscious and unconscious, sensual and scientific. Alchemists, whether ancient, medieval or contemporary, encourage contemplation about idealistic aspirations, acceptance of imperfection, and humanity’s quest for the impossible. Artists: Deb Chaney, Lisa Kirk, Ramon Kubicek, Ivy Miller, Wilma Millette and Clive Powsey. Artist reception: Nov 10, 7-9pm. Artful : The Poets features poet Carys Owen followed by open mic Nov 6, 7-9pm, by donation.
