OPENINGS AVAILABLE Oliver Ranch sculpture tour

Hi all, I've just been informed by Joy Chase, President of The Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, that there are still some openings for a

rare tour of Oliver Ranch in Sonoma County.

One of the largest collections of site specific sculpture in the world.

Sort of a Storm King Art Center of the West coast.

Maria and I will be going courtesy of a benefactor! THANK YOU!!!

Information on location, tour and sign up below. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I've just watched the KQED videos, and this is worth it.

And yes, I realize Maker Faire and SF Fine Art Fair are this weekend as well.
(if going to SF Fine Art Fair type discount code "anglim" for free ticket - thanks Laura Bennett)

Oliver Ranch Walking Tour
Join us on a unique PAL day trip to Sonoma County to visit the Oliver Ranch, one of the most ambitious private collections of site-specific sculpture in the world.

Get a taste of the tour in this episode of "Spark" on KQED. After our private tour we will enjoy lunch and wine tasting at Armida Winery before heading back to Palo Alto on our chartered bus.
