"Bouquet" is a curated exhibition organized by Page Art Projects and presented as a project of Campana Studios. On view at the ICA North Pavilion in Encinitas, the exhibition brings together five regional artists working across painting and sculpture whose practices engage botanical imagery through observation, history, and imagination. Rather than treating flowers as simple decoration, the works in "Bouquet" explore the many ways we assign meaning to the natural world — through study, symbolism, memory, and material form. From gardens carefully documented over time to sculptural works inspired by the historical language of flowers, each artist offers a distinct perspective on how beauty, knowledge, and cultural history intersect. Featured artists include: Laura Ball, Jean Lowe, Amy Pachowicz, Gail Roberts and Rebecca Webb. This exhibition is made possible through support from the City of Encinitas and community funding partners. Exhibition hours 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursday - Saturday or by appointment

Relive the hair-raising mission of the USS Midway, which rescued some 3000 desperate “at risk “refugees from Saigon, Vietnam on the last two days of April 1975. Midway was the “tactical evacuation commander “ for Task Force 76 (TF-76) airlift operations, and participated in the largest humanitarian rescue mission in US Navy history. Midway Museum docent Andy Hill will describe the hair raising operation that was the USS Midway’s final deployment to Vietnam, not to wage war, but to rescue refugees in South Vietnam‘s final hours. Hill will share the story of this mission that broke rules and set precedence as a Navy crew conducted the ship’s flight deck operations with embarked refugees. It gave thousands a second chance at freedom. This lecture will be in-person and on Zoom. Email bheckler@san.rr.com for the Zoom link.
