Lyn Bishop : Sharing Secrets

Community art and performance center, Works/San Jose, is reopening with a new show titled re: group that opens on August 1st and runs through September 13. The gala reception is schedule to coincide with the August First Friday event, August 1st, 7pm until late.

This is good news, as Works/San Jose offers local artists and curators a place to exhibit and engage with the community in an effort to expand the scope of cultural and artistic experience in downtown San Jose. Founded in 1977 by local artists to form an alternative non-profit art and performance center, Works/San Jose is an important cultural institution within the fabric of the south bay arts community. It would have been a real shame to see it close for good. (more…)

I have recently collaborated with eighteen other artists to produce over eighty mixed media collaborative prints based on the book The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle. The work is on exhibit at the Krause Center for Innovation Gallery at Foothill College from April 7- May 15. I hope you can experience this body of work first hand.

On Friday, April 18th we will have an artist’s reception from 6:30 - 7:30 pm with Multimedia Open Mic Night to follow until 10:00 pm. The KCI Cafe coffee and dessert bar as well as the college’s observatory and telescope with be open throughout the event.
