On Sunday, March 11th, the Ojai Valley Museum will host their first TOWN TALK of 2012. The title of the enrichment program is “Glass as Art,” and is organized in conjunction with the current exhibition “American Glass Works,” which closes April 1.

The purpose of the afternoon’s panel discussion is to explore, with five of the seven exhibiting artists in the show, glass as an art medium and why the artists prefer working in this material. The Ojai, Ventura, and Oak View based artist panel includes: Brian Berman, Robert Eyberg, Doug Lochner, Susan Stinsmuehlen-Amend, and Michael Zelcer.

Michele Ellis Pracy, Museum Director and Curator of “American Glass Works,” will be the moderator. Her questions will create dialog among the artist panelists, as well as allow each artist a voice about the work they create. The program will begin at 2 p.m., and then conclude at 3:30 p.m., after which artists and audience can visit the exhibit for more personalized questions about pieces in the show.

The museum is located at 130 W. Ojai Avenue, Ojai, CA. Reservations are suggested, as seating is limited. Check, cash or credit cards accepted. For more information or to reserve your place call: 805 640-1390, ext. 203. 2011 Museum Members – Free and Non-Members - $8.
