Choses du Jardin
Speaking of art, I hope you’ll all stop by and take a look at the botanical art show we’re holding at Eureka Books as a benefit for the Humboldt Botanical Gardens Foundation on Aug. 1 and 2. If you are an HBGF member — or if you’d like to become a member at the door — we’re holding a preview party on Friday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m.. I’ll give a short talk about the history and technology behind botanical art at that event. To RSVP, call 442-5139.
Otherwise, drop by on Saturday, Aug. 2, from 6-9 p.m., for Arts Alive. We’ll have everything from 200-year-old hand colored botanical engravings to modern work from California artists, and 20 percent of proceeds are going to HBGF. The store is located at 426 Second St. in Old Town; for more information, visit www.eurekabooksellers.com.
