A day in the life<br />
Summer at the Manhattan<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Art Center<br />
Depicting “leisure and recreation<br />
through the eyes and<br />
lenses of local artists,” “Day<br />
in the Life of Manhattan <strong>Beach</strong>”<br />
opens June 29 with a reception<br />
B<br />
from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Manhattan<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Art Center. Consisting of<br />
original work by members of the<br />
community, in a variety of media,<br />
this show depicts “the hometown<br />
feel of the city” and is “a portrait of<br />
Manhattan <strong>Beach</strong> and its progressive,<br />
laid-back lifestyle familiar to<br />
all.”<br />
Even more promising is “Can’t<br />
See the Forest for the Trees,” which<br />
features the works of several notable<br />
artists: Lowell Nickel, Jacalyn<br />
Lopez Garcia and Nicholas Cesar<br />
Colon, Robert Glenn Ketchum,<br />
Anita Bunn, and Fatemeh Burnes.<br />
The opening reception is August<br />
17 from 6 to 9 p.m., and the show<br />
will be up through October 14.<br />
More information to come, but<br />
“Can’t See the Forest for the Trees”<br />
is being described in these words:<br />
“To discern an overall pattern from<br />
a mass of detail; to see the big picture,<br />
or the broader, more general<br />
situation.” That cryptic teaser will<br />
be replaced as we get nearer to the<br />
opening which, judging from the<br />
artists involved, should be a good<br />
one.<br />
The Manhattan <strong>Beach</strong> Art Center<br />
is located at 1560 Manhattan<br />
<strong>Beach</strong> Blvd., Manhattan <strong>Beach</strong>.<br />
