Strong Waves, Contemporary Women’s Art at Claudia Chapline Gallery
The Claudia Chapline Gallery in Stinson Beach will play host to Women’s Caucus artists from Northern California and Florida in an exciting show that celebrates 35 years of Feminism. Strong Waves has joined forces with the Feminist Art Project at Rutgers University, in a national initiative to bring public attention to the significant and continuing impact of women and their art on all aspects of contemporary art practice. http://www.feministartproject.rutgers.edu/
Strong Waves plays on the theme of the seaside location of the gallery, the coastal communities of Northern California and Florida artists and most importantly the first, second and third wave of the feminist movement. The first wave of feminism sought to gain voting rights, the second wave fought for equality in jobs and pay while the third wave focuses on a wider range of global inequities such as age, race, sexual orientation, economic status and education.
Juried and curated by Ruth Waters, Founder and Director of the Silicon Valley Art Museum in San Mateo, Strong waves include works by established as well as emerging artists from Florida and Northern California. Viewers will be enticed, challenged and provoked by the diversity of the artists’ interests, passions and concerns and the common thread of feminism that unites them.
Chapine Gallery is at 3445 Shoreline Highway (Highway One),
Stinson Beach, California
The show is open May 5 – May 27 2007.
************
As part of the Claudia Chapline Gallery’s 20th Anniversary, the gallery will present a summer group show of Bay area painters and sculptors.
Painters include Carol Andrews, Bryn Craig, Mardi Horowitz, landscapes; Annie Bilder, miniatures; Gerald Huth, mixed media; Anthony Montanino, San Francisco Scenes; and Elly Simmons’ paintings from her Global Warming Series.
Sculptors include Pamela Blotner, mythological wood pieces; Marianna Goodheart, small steel abstractions; Joseph Palumbo and Diane van der Zanden, Ruth Waters, bronzes; Ericka Clark Shaw and Jenni Ward, ceramics. In the sculpture garden, Scott Tyler shows a new steel Kinetic Meditation.

Farallones Marine Sanctuary Invites, “Discover Your Marine Sanctuary” With Excursions and Free Lectures
MARCH 14, 2007 - San Francisco – Wildlife survival on the rocky ocean shores, doing battle and finding mates, plus the human challenges of life on the rocky, isolated Farallon Islands are topics of free lectures sponsored this spring by NOAA’s Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. From April through June, the sanctuary, in cooperation with non-profit Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association, will sponsor lectures and outings led by experts in San Mateo, San Francisco and Marin County that spotlight the sanctuary’s wildlife and habitats. Lectures are free and suitable for families. Donations are welcome. Some outings have modest fees. For reservations and registration contact Dru Devlin at ddevlin@farallones.org, 415/ 561-6625 ext. 311.

WHO: Author Peter White
WHEN: June 13, from 7 to 9 p.m.
WHERE: SF Maritime National Historical Park Visitor Center, 499 Jefferson
Street at Hyde
Peter White presents “The Farallon Islands, A Human Historical Perspective.” Cold and forbidding, and now a refuge for birds and mammals, these remote and rugged islands just 27 miles off San Francisco are the setting for human adventure and exploitation. White, author of the definitive book, “Farallon Islands, Sentinels at the Gate,” will offer an historical perspective of life on the rocky, rugged islands.

WHO: Naturalist Pete Winch and sanctuary researchers
WHEN: Saturday, June 16th

Join sanctuary scientists and a naturalist aboard the 65 ft. research vessel “Fulmar” to cruise the waters around the Farallon Islands and perhaps to the edge of the Continental Shelf in search of whales and other wildlife. This is a unique opportunity to see marine scientists collect data. Space is limited. Program cost is $25 per person. Age restrictions apply. For details and reservations contact Dru Devlin, 415/ 561-6625 ext. 311, ddevlin@farallones.org.
NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary Program, which manages Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, seeks to increase the public awareness of America's marine resources and maritime heritage by conducting scientific research, monitoring, exploration and educational programs. Today, the sanctuary program manages 13 national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument that together encompass more than 150,000 square miles of America's ocean and Great Lakes natural and cultural resources.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
