It’s hot out. The beach is the most likely respite for another South Bay weekend as relatively milder temps than were registered during the week are in the forecast for Saturday & Sunday. The buzz and hum of air conditioners heard all through the week mean summer weather has dropped in a little early, one week ahead of Memorial Day Weekend and Fiesta Hermosa. Stay cool by standing in front of your refrigerator all weekend long or head on out to an event below, there’s a Sea Fair going on Sunday, it’s the end of nationally celebrated American Craft Beer Week, or just park it on a beach and read your smartphone. Enjoy the weekend!

A New Perspective, A solo art exhibition: Saturday, May 17, 2014 – 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm Born in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia to immigrant parents – an Irish father and Anglo-Indian mother. Australia provided many rich experiences that are seen in her work. From the vibrant colors of the Outback where she spent time as a child, to the clash of cultures and gender often as a byproduct of diversity – Angelina’s perspective is colored by her own bi-cultural identity and experiences. Artistic as a child, art was a constant expression until her late teens. Learn more about 608 NORTH Art Gallery’s exhibition on our site.
