Gayle Anderson introduced us to artist Ann Weber, whose work is on display at the Catalina Museum for Art and History.

The exhibit entitled “Ann Weber: 26 Miles,” features repurposed cardboard she uses to create monumental sculptures, giving a second life to the material.

Meet artist Ann Weber July 27 at 7:30 p.m. for an Artist Talk in the museum’s Ackerman Family Amphitheater.

During a one-hour slideshow presentation, Weber will show the trials and joys of her 50-year career making art, titled ”The Life and Loves of Ann Weber.” She will discuss how she got started as a potter living in a yurt in upstate New York to living in Los Angeles (San Pedro to be exact), and all of the adventures in between.

Doors open at 7:30 pm to view the exhibition “Ann Weber: 26 Miles” and get a beverage from the no-host bar. The presentation begins at 8:15 p.m. in the Ackerman Family Amphitheater. Then there will be a Q & A session with Weber at 9:15 p.m. The event ends at 9:30 p.m. This event is free but registration is required so everyone can be properly accommodated. You can register at CatalinaMuseum.org.
