AND OTHER STORIES, a lecture by Joan Schulze

A retrospective exhibition is an opportunity for the artist to look backward in time in a positive way, taking time to recreate the journey through their art making. Through images, stories and the occasional poem, Schulze will illustrate and comment on her early ambitions, the surprises and events which sustained her pursuing a career in art while being a wife of 50+ years, mother of four and grandmother of 13. The big question remains—why the material world of embroidery, quilts and collage.

Tickets $15 general, $10 members and students. Tickets available online or by phone at 408.971.0323 x14. Advance registration suggested.
