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. Leonard's brushwork is as electrifying as his subjects, bold warm and cold colors denoting the unfolding drama of his scenes. 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!

Refresh your wardrobe with personalized creativity! In this workshop, you will design and sew your own quilt blocks and attach them to a pre-loved item of your choosing (we recommend you bring a tote bag or jacket*). You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind item you’ll be proud to use or wear. Intuitive quilting is the process of creating a quilt (or quilt block) using your intuition and sense of creativity. You’ll select fabric scraps in shapes and colors that you’re drawn to without too much planning. We’ll move through the process without limits, allowing for creativity to flow freely. This course is for beginners and seasoned quilters alike. If you’ve never used a sewing machine before, you’ll be guided on how to sew simple straight lines, gentle curves and how to appliqué. If you’ve sewn apparel or quilts using patterns before, you’ll be encouraged to put away the “rules” and sometimes rigid guidelines of traditional quilting to tap into a more freeform and intuitive way of quilting. • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers welcome • Military and sibling discounts No experience necessary. Ages 16+ welcome! *Please bring items made from woven material only (non-stretch). Sweatshirts and anything made from knit fabric are not suitable for use in this class. Tote bags are also available for purchase from San Diego Craft Collective.*
