Join us for a morning of artful reflection and handwritten connection. In a fast-moving world of digital messages, take a thoughtful pause to reconnect with the timeless art of letter-writing, guided by creativity and meaningful conversation. We will begin with a stroll through the sculpture garden, taking time to observe, discuss, and respond to selected works and their creators. Together, we will explore questions of artistic intention, personal interpretation, and emotional response while practicing the essential creative act of thinking deeply and expressing ourselves with care. You will then be invited to write a letter to an artist, whether living or past, or to someone with whom you wish to share your reflections. This is a chance to slow down, be present, and engage meaningfully with art through writing. All materials will be provided, including guidance on how to compose, personalize, address, and send your handwritten letter. The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram

The Library's Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 5 to October 31. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On October 31, we will have Robert Wetzel on guitar, performing "Guitar Fantasy Through the Centuries." Robert Wetzel was born of Dutch and Indonesian lineage. He started playing piano at age eight, acoustic steel-string guitar and electric guitar at age eleven, and than he began serious study of the classical guitar at age fifteen which changed his life forever. In 1972, he began several years of private classical guitar studies with Spanish guitar virtuoso, Angel Romero, followed later by private guitar studies with guitar maestros Celedonio Romero, Pepe Romero and Celin Romero. He still considers himself a disciple of the Romero family of master guitarists, and often states, “the master-disciple relationship is a lifelong affair.” Wetzel frequently performs as a soloist and with orchestral and chamber music groups. He is also the founding member of the award-winning Odeum Guitar Duo, that was established in 1994 with his well-known guitarist duo colleague, Fred Benedetti. Their second Odeum Guitar Duo CD, entitled "Forgotten Romance", was officially chosen by NASA in 2016 to fly aboard the final flight of the United States Space Shuttle, THE ENDEAVOR, Mission STS-134, to the International Space Station launched on May 16, 2011, and the CD travelled there and back with additional orbits around the earth to complete mission objectives for a total of 6.5 million miles! Robert resides in San Diego County, where over the years he has been or presently is teaching the art of playing the guitar while on the musical faculties of Point Loma Nazarene University, University of California San Diego Extended Studies, SDSU, Cuyamaca College, Grossmont College, Southwestern College, Palomar College and Mesa College. He also teaches private guitar students online all over the world via video platforms. FANFARE Magazine described his guitar playing as, “…truly magical…realized the piece’s inherent fire…projection of instrumental color…delightful…” Visit: https://coronado.librarycalendar.com/event/autumn-concert-series-hold-34518 Robert Wetzel on Facebook
