THIS OCTOBER, Distinction Gallery is proud to present "Stay to the End" an exhibition of new works by Gabe Leonard, celebrated cinematic artist. Known for narrative paintings with swashbuckling desperados and femme fatals, Leonard draws inspiration from many genres of film such as westerns and noir.

Longtime fans and newcomers alike will find fresh reason to delight in his new filmic compositions. Opening reception: "Stay to the End" opens with a public reception with the artist from 6-10 p.m. on Oct. 14. There will be live music and drinks available for purchase from Last Spot by Hidden Hive. The opening reception will feature new works and a live painting session with the artist. Dress up to match Gabe's art for a chance to model for him live during the Reception!

Quartet Nouveau returns to the garden at Art Produce joined by baritone Jonathan Nussman for a free community concert. This one hour performance features the "Juliet Letters" by Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet. This piece was inspired by a Veronese academic who had taken on the task of replying to letters addressed to "Juliet Capulet." The idea of what was in these letters provided the inspiration for this work and Costello said about the music, "It's not a rock opera. It's a new thing." Quartet Nouveau is a San Diego based string quartet and is happy to collaborate with Jonathan whose varied interests include opera, theater, improvisation and chamber music. This concert is made possible by a grant from the Qualcomm Foundation. Related events: Connect with Quartet Nouveau on Facebook!
