'Beacon' Art Show On Display in Santa Cruz on Nov. 7 - In Vintage Trailer Turned Art Gallery

By Nora Dougherty

An upcoming art event, Friday, Nov. 7, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. involves an illuminating collaboration between Janet Fine and Felicia Gilman, storytelling around a campfire and a vintage trailer turned art gallery.

Utilizing cut paper, photography, printmaking, lighting and anything else they can get their hands on - long time friends and artists Janet Fine and Felicia Gilman have come together to create “Beacon.”

Collaborating for the first time, they find commonalities in aesthetics and content, in layers and light. Fine and Gilman know that encouragement comes from unexpected sources. The smallest thing can bring the most hope.

As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, come visit the “Beacon” show to find a lot of warmth, a little comfort and maybe even some illumination.

This show marks the second anniversary of Work.Shop.- a mobile gallery.

In its ongoing quest to eliminate the imaginary gap between people and art, Work. Shop. invites you to bring your beacon tales to share around the fire.. That bump in the road, cast away lighter, loose change from a stranger- when were you guided by a small unlikely light?

“Beacon” opens for First Friday on November 7 from 6 to 9 at at the corner of Cedar and Locust Streets. Show runs through November and December.

Keep track of Work. Shop.’s guerilla gallery activity athttps://www.facebook.com/work.shop.mobilegallery- bringing a thoughtful, inspired art space that defies pretension to unsuspecting pull outs, parking lots, and driveways up and down the California coast.

Come celebrate and shine like the light that you are.
