FWIW,

The sculpture exhibition in the Depot Street empty lot was supposed to close on October 31.

The artists, myself among them, had to take the show down early. No one consulted the Sebastopol Center for the Arts before planning the new event.

Public access to the site was planned for Oct 7 that had to be cancelled. Makes Sebastopol look bad, and sloppy.

The artists go through considerable expense to produce artwork and install a show. We need to fit timelines into other plans. Getting short notice that a show is closing early is unprofessional, however no fault of the art center. They were blind sided.

Gosh, this “news story” prompts me to ponder the demographics of The Sebastopol Times…

The disposable assets of people supporting such an activity are outside of my values as a retired scientist.

I needed to go the Apple Store in Santa Rosa this morning. Over the 17 years I’ve lived in this area, I’ve seen the degradation of what little remained of “middle class” affordability. The Santa Rosa Plaza is a depressing reality.

This “news story” seems like an advertisement for an event I find curious. At $280 per person, old hippies are a target audience.

And young people, it’s your fascist world with extinctions etc. May as well stare at a navel, IMHO.
