Opening May 25 at Monterey Museum of Art

The Bruton Sisters: Modernism in the Making is opening soon at its second venue, the Monterey Museum of Art. For several years, I have dreamed of bringing the Bruton sisters' work back to their hometown of Monterey. I am thrilled that my community will be able to view and appreciate the talents of these local women artists.

For the past few weeks, I've been working with MMA staff to prepare and install the exhibition. They even put up a cool video of the show in process on social media. The wall colors were chosen specifically to compliment the works that will be on display. 

MMA is open from Thursday - Sunday from 11:00-5:00pm and admission is $15 (free if you're a member). Admission is free on "First Fridays" of each month from 5:00-7:00pm. 

I have two talks coming up. I'll be giving a presentation at the Carmel Public Library on Thursday, June 15, from 4-5pm. It's a small space, so reservations are required. Next I'll be giving a curator's tour of the exhibition at MMA on Thursday, June 29, from 5:30-7:00pm. I will discuss the Brutons' unique techniques and innovative approach to materials as well as take a closer look at selected works on display.  

In other news, Steve Gorman, a reporter for the Alameda Post, has written a series of articles about the Bruton sisters and their connection to their hometown of Alameda. You can find links to all of these articles on his website: https://alamedapost.com/steve-gorman/
