T Barny Gallery & Sculpture Gardens

We The Sculptors…From ancient monuments carved in stone to bold contemporary abstraction, sculpture has always been a defiant presence in the world. It occupies space and refuses to be ignored.
Ten Sonoma County sculptors will gather at the T Barny Gallery and Sculpture Gardens on April 25 &amp; 26 from 11 AM to 4 PM to celebrate International Sculpture Days with an event titled We The Sculptors. (<a href="https://sculpture.org/page/isday" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://sculpture.org/page/isday</a>
) Their works range from Ceramics to Stone, and Steel to Zip Ties.
Join us in the gardens for a free weekend of art that speaks, resists, and invites you to do the same. 
Come stand with us and join the conversation. Come make a little, very good trouble of your own - Defiant Dissidence

Born and raised in San Francisco, Mike Z joined his first “working” band in high school. Although he started as a trumpet player (which he gave up because he couldn’t talk, let alone sing, while playing), he switched to bass, and then guitar. Playing in Bay Area bands early in his career, he had the opportunity to back such acts as The Whispers, The Pointer Sisters, and Johnny Taylor.
Mike Z has written original tunes for film and TV libraries, and performed on numerous studio tracks.
Mike Z appears currently in the bands Z and The Benders and the Mike Z Jazz Trio.
