The Beatles/I Saw the Photograph features the Vincent Vigil collection, including sixty photographs from 1962 to 1969. The collection began quietly in 1988, when Vigil attended a Linda McCartney photo exhibit and purchased two prints. A decade later, after studying photography and Museum Studies at San Diego Mesa College, Vigil turned his passion for the 60s group into a serious collecting endeavor; his goal was to tell the story of the Fab Four through the lens of both famous and unknown photographers. Join us for a reception on Thursday, October 3, 4 – 7 pm. FREE parking on reception night on Lot 1, Park in STAFF for this event. Meet collector Vincent Vigil and listen to Beatles tunes. Exhibit runs September 30 - October 24. Gallery hours: M-Th 12 - 5 pm.

Repair your Plush! Join us for a heartwarming 2-hour workshop where we will breathe new life into your beloved stuffed animals! Whether it’s a childhood companion or a cherished gift, learn hands-on techniques to mend, reinforce, re-stuff and restore plush toys. As we stitch and stuff, I will share stories of healing and celebration as we transform sentimental fabrics into custom keepsakes that honor spatial memories. This workshop teaches the art of repair — a place where every stitch tells a story, and where life’s moments, big and small, are celebrated with love. It is recommended that you wash your plush toy ahead of time planning for plenty of time for it to dry thoroughly. Use your best judgement on whether it should go in the washing machine or be gently hand washed. This class is appropriate for ages 5+ years with an adult in attendance, or 11+ years on their own. • Military and sibling discounts. • Scholarships available. • Homeschool vendor funds accepted. • If this class is full, join the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
