Dive into the world of theater with our latest exhibition, "Alex Katz: Theater and Dance," and draw costume designs inspired by friends and loved ones and set designs inspired by a memorable place or somewhere that you have always wanted to visit. Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. In this new 4-week art series, consider what story you want to tell through your theater-inspired artwork and take inspiration from your own life to create. Imagine yourself, your friends, and your family, each depicted in the costume designs they would wear in a play about your lives, and design a set or backdrop where a scene from your life might play out. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, these workshops offer a fun and supportive space to explore new creative possibilities! Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Registration gives participants access to the full series (four workshops).

Weekly Program September 12 & 19: Costume Design Drawing Drawing inspiration from Katz’s costume designs, create representations of yourself and your friends or family. Consider what type of clothes each member in your group might wear–what scene will you be depicting and what type of clothes make sense in it? Will it be everyday clothes or something for a special trip or occasion? You will create your own costume designs through a combination of drawing and tracing. October 3 & 10: Set Design Drawing Create a set design drawing for the theater production of your life inspired by Katz’s set designs. Imagine important or exciting moments in your life and how these might look in a play or reimagine the event happening in a location that you long to visit. Consider whether your set design drawing will be for an interior or exterior location. What would be included in this space? Perhaps a couch or a tree. You will design these, drawing and imagining your world as a stage where costumes and sets work together to bring your theater-inspired artworks to life.

After a successful introduction in 2024, Otay Ranch Town Center in Chula Vista is bringing back a special "Pink & Popcorn" night marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a signature pink themed outdoor screening of "Wicked," paired with educational booths on local women's and breast health services, a special "Warrior Wall" honoring and remembering breast cancer patients and survivors and more. The free outdoor screening of this worldwide hit will be held Tuesday, October 7 at 7 p.m. in the center's Dining Pavilion. Starting at 5 p.m. that evening, guests can enjoy a live DJ spinning retro tunes, a "Power of Pink" themed photo booth, giveaways and prizes from Otay Ranch Town Center merchants and more. The center will be providing a variety of additional patio seating options; alcohol is not permitted. Key to the evening's lineup is the opportunity to spread awareness about vital services available from La Maestra Community Health Centers and their "Every Woman Counts" program and early detection awareness education from The Helen Knoll Foundation. Both organizations will host information stations with details on all locally available women's, family, cancer and other health services. The center will also host a "Warrior Wall" benefitting the Helen Knoll Foundation for the entire month of October with residents welcome to place a commemorative personalized pink ribbon to signify either someone currently battling breast cancer, a survivor or a loved one unfortunately lost to the disease. "Last year we were thrilled to create a new event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month harnessing the power of accessible education and a celebration of the warriors in this fight, while also bringing attention to the power of pink, hope and community when it comes to fighting this disease," said Otay Ranch Town Center General Manager Tim Kilcourse. "We welcome all our neighbors to come join us in a celebratory and uplifting event at the heart of our true town center," he added. Guests can begin sitting in provided seating in the Dining Pavilion at 6:30 p.m. and everyone is encouraged to partake in food from the weekly Farmers Market or take out from any number of the center's dining tenants. Dressing in pink, Glinda (or Elpheba!) inspired looks are encouraged and the DJ will award prizes between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. for outstanding looks. Otay Ranch Town Center on Facebook / Instagram
