Santa Cruz Open Studios Art Tour, October 2022

Thank you all for attending our Open Studios Tour this year. North County dates this year were October 1, 2, 15 , and 16. We enjoyed meeting many new people as well as welcoming back some of you from our past years' events. We really appreciate your support!

Artisans Show

Sculpture Is: In the Garden, June 1 through October, 2022 at Sierra Azul Nursery. 

We had a wonderful reception on June 9, 2022! This is Pajaro Valley Arts' sixteenth iteration of the exhibit, with over 40 Artists presenting, and it an absolute treat to see all of the work in this gorgeous setting. Jay has three pieces in the show this year, the colorful 4-axis Kinetic MobileVoluminous Bubble Vasiform, and Four Red Rings. See the show at the two-acre demonstration garden at Sierra Azul Nursery in Watsonville, California. 

Visual Arts Network Tri-Gallery Exhibit, Radius Gallery, April 2022

“This Is Now” was an exhibition of the Visual Arts Network featuring work created within the last two years that depicted what is current and of our time. The exhibit featured nearly 400 original works of art in all media from over 150 Santa Cruz County artists. The show took place from March 4 to April 10 at the Radius Gallery, R. Blitzer Gallery, and Curated by the Sea. Jay's pieces for the show were an overstated departure from metalwork and kinetic sculpture!

Santa Cruz Open Studios, October 2021

This year's Open Studios took place October 9, 10 & 16, 17. After a year of sheltering in place and no Open Studios Art Tour, we were thrilled to participate in this year's event. The Preview Exhibit at the Santa Cruz Art League ran from October 1 to October 16. Please visit Arts Council Santa Cruz County for more information on the Tour and the other artists who participated.
