Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art

Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art is celebrating 10 years with the exhibit 5x5 showcasing work from artists around the country. The small 5x5” format and online auction began on December 3rd and runs through Friday, December 18th. Bidding closes sharply at 5p.m. Now is your chance to bid and take home one of these exceptional pieces.

My own contribution, Morning idyll, is a black bear from Alaska’s Katmai National National Park contemplating a morning bathe.

Don’t wait! Start your bidding now!

There is still time to see The River’s Journey in the city of Santa Barbara in our historical City Hall.

This show is a smaller version of the Rose Compass exhibit hosted by the Wildling Museum last Winter.

On First Thursday, March 7 from 5-7pm there will be one last reception to celebrate this leg of our four venue exhbition. You can also see the last iteration of the show at Westmont Ridley Tree Museum on the Westmont campus in Montecito. That exhibit will remain on view until mid June of this year.

Check out the website and stories of the journey at rosecompass.com.

There is also a wonderful exhibition catalog that goes with the show. Find a copy in the shop or at a local bookstore.
