January RAA Programs

“Redlands the Way It Was and the Art of Jan Harvey”

Tuesday, January 25 at 7:00pm

One of our own, RAA member Jan Harvey is a widely exhibited and collected printmaker.  Her extensive collection of photographs of Redlands taken over many years forms the wellspring of images for her original prints.  Jan will share images of Redlands from the past, show her interpretations and discuss her very original printmaking techniques.

Upcoming Excursion to the Pasadena Museum of California Art

There is an upcoming excursion planned for Sunday, January 23rd, to the Pasadena Museum of California Art to view “Scenic View Ahead” show.

Read the write up in Westways Magazine (AAASo Ca Publication) pg. 52-54. The show features watercolors done by prominent California watercolorists who were hired to paint the covers for Westways from  1927 to 1970. Westways was one of the few magazines to use original artist work for the cover.

We will leave Redlands at 9:00 am.  We will eat lunch in old town Pasadena and view the exhibit from noon – 3:00 pm. Your Cost: lunch, museum ticket $7 (auto club members $2 off), donation for gas.  I will take sign ups by:

Either way you contact me, please give me your name, telephone/email. I can take four riders. If we have more people we need one more volunteer driver.

Thanks all…Margaret Spiess
