Don’t miss our day trip to the charming and artsy town of Sebastopol.
Bay Area Excursion: Scintillating Sebastopol
Wednesday, September 18
9:00am-5:00pm
( See “Expected Excursion Timing” below)
Board our private coach to head to Sebastopol; a seemingly sleepy little town that’s actually filled delightful sites, galleries, boutiques, restaurants and more.
See an art exhibit that may be a wonderful antidote to these crazy times. Visit an outdoor sculpture “gallery.” Enjoy a wonderful lunch. Have free time to explore this quaint destination.
ART EXHIBIT – Haven: Place of Comfort & Contemplation
In today’s fast-paced, often chaotic world, we find ourselves longing for spaces where we can feel comfort, engage in thoughtful contemplation, and experience a sense of security. Sanctuaries come in many forms, whether they be physical places, metaphysical states of mind, or places of human connection. In this show, artists are exhibiting their version of Haven, beckoning viewers into these sanctuaries, and revealing the profound impact of these spaces through various mediums and techniques.
OUTDOOR ART
Take a stroll down a three-block stretch of a charming Sebastopol neighborhood to see clever and imaginative sculptures. Made from recycled trash, the colorful works feature the likes of a rat at the wheel of a hot rod, a tea-sipping Mad Hatter, a joy-riding skeleton on a motorcycle, giant birds, and many more.
This magic started back in 2001, when the artist-couple placed one of their large sculptural pieces – a fisherman fashioned from an old water heater – on their front lawn. Neighbors loved it and wanted their own. These days, nearly every yard sports a sculpture by the couple as do some local businesses.
LUNCH
Relax over a sumptuous lunch at one of the wonderful, local restaurant. Scroll down for the menu.
