During a gallery talk on Thursday, April 13, 2017, Santa Paula Art Museum docent Seana-Marie Sesma will share her personal discovery of community and art at the annual “Burning Man” event. The talk begins at 3:00 p.m. Burning Man is an artistic gathering that takes place at Black Rock City, a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Sesma will describe the experience of attending Burning Man and the lessons it taught her about the importance of self-expression. She will also explain how Burning Man inspired her to create “The Land of Light,” a new community art event taking place on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at the Santa Paula Art Museum. The Land of Light is a completely unique event that aims to bring the community together in a new way of seeing art. Admission to the gallery talk is $4.00 for adults, $3.00 for seniors, and free for students and SPAM members.
