The Opening Reception for Jane’s solo exhibition at NY2CA Gallery last Saturday was a wonderful evening of art, music, food and conversation at NY2CA Gallery, 617 First Street, Benicia, CA. Jane gave a Gallery Talk responding to questions about her works from gallery director Vickie Marchand. Many people attended and also enjoyed live music by local musicians and great food in the gallery’s back patio area. Jane’s work remains on view in the gallery till June 21, and the NY2CA Gallery is open Thursday through Sundays, Noon to 5 pm. Jane will be there in Benicia at the gallery again on June 6 for the Benicia Arts Festival day to conduct a public art activity at the gallery. The public is invited to make a “house” for a public art installation of over 100 handmade paper and wire mesh “houses” in the patio and garden area behind NY2CA Gallery.
