Green Chalk Contemporary: Work by Sharron Antholt & Rob Barnard

Posted on September 22nd, 2014 by lighthouseave

Green Chalk Contemporary, located at 616 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey, is proud to present two simultaneous exhibitions, September 17 - November 30: one by ceramicist Rob Barnard, and one by artist Sharron Antholt.

Sharron Antholt references architectural and sculptural shapes from India in her new work, particularly from her recent stay in Tamil Nadu, in South India in 2013. By reducing images of fortresses, temples, and sculptural forms to flat shapes, Antholt attempts to find the essence of these forms. It becomes like a map, which in its flattened state allows us to grasp something too large to comprehend. In these new works on paper and canvas, Antholt refers to what she calls "a feeling of condensed or collapsed time which powerfully permeates everyday life in India; the sensation of thousands of years existing in a single moment."

Rob Barnard, a pioneer of unglazed wood-fired work in the US, is a seminal figure in American ceramic art. In the three and a half decades since he trained under the renowned ceramic artist Kazuo Yagi at the prestigious Kyoto University for the Fine Arts, he has had solo exhibitions throughout the US and in Japan, Great Britain, and the Netherlands.

Green Chalk Contemporary art gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday, 2pm-7pm and by appointment. For more information, please phone Ami-Sue Lawless at 831-601-0534.

Current Comics Trades & Hardcover Sale in September

Posted on September 16th, 2014 by lighthouseave

Current Comics (400 Lighthouse Ave) is pleased to announce that all trade paperbacks, hardcovers, and graphic novels are 20% off through the end of September 2014! Take advantage of this great deal while it lasts at your only local comic book shop.

Paper Wing Theatre prides itself on its Rocky Horror Show production, which has taken place nearly every Halloween for 10 years at our Lighthouse District theatre. Unfortunately, normal wear and tear on our 9-year-old headset-style microphones has taken its toll. We need your financial help to purchase a new set.

Rocky Horror is the biggest event we produce all year, and the income from this show makes it possible to produce all our other shows during the season. Paper Wing Theatre is an independent community theatre that relies on ticket sales to survive. Every dollar earned is put right back into our theatre to make certain we can keep entertaining the community.

Paper Wing makes it a priority to give back to our community. We employ local artists and designers. We participate in every neighborhood outreach program, including many of the fun events on Lighthouse Avenue. And we offer free theatre rental for smaller performing arts groups, free local playwright's play readings for the community, free entertainment to schools and institutions, and over $10,000 in free tickets to local non-profits, charities, and low-income families and individuals. Now we need your help.

You can support us online through our Indiegogo campaign. Or you can mail a check, payable to Paper Wing Theatre, to 320 Hoffman Avenue, Monterey, CA, 93940.

We thank you for your support!
