SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

SUMMARY:CALIFORNIA BLUEGRASS REUNION  WITH OTTER OPRY
DESCRIPTION:Having brought the house down at their first three Otter Opry performances\, the California Bluegrass Reunion will be back on Tuesday\, November 18th at the United Methodist Church to do it again – and it just gets better every time! This star-studded band is highlighted by the awesome fiddling of Chad Manning and features an abundance of original instrumentals from mandolinist John Reischman and banjo player Bill Evans. Anchoring the rhythm section is Jim Nunally on guitar and vocals\, Mike Witcher on Dobro\, and Sharon Gilchrist on bass. The show will open with a four-song set by Nell & Jim\, featuring Jim Nunally on vocals\, guitar and banjo\, with Nell Robinson on vocals and miniflute; this amazing duo delivers tight harmonies and original genre-bending music that will get the evening off to a sizzling start.\nBack to California Bluegrass Reunion: Grammy Award-winning John Reischman is a foundational mandolinist\, composer\, bandleader and musical educator in bluegrass and North American roots and folk music.

Jim Nunally is a musician\, composer\, record producer and teacher – all in addition to being one of the finest guitar players in the world. Chad Manning is a bluegrass\, old-time and swing fiddler who has performed with more famous bands than you can count. Sharon Gilchrist has long made her home in the American acoustic music scene\, performing on concert and festival stages all over North America. Growing up the youngest of five in a musical and artistic family in the suburbs of Los Angeles\, Mike Witcher found his voice playing the Dobro at the age of 14.\nThese musicians have made music in various combinations for decades\, but this all-star performance – billed as a “Special Tribute to California Songwriters and Tunesmiths\,” with songs from Tony Rice\, Herb Pedersen\, Kathy Kallick\, Laurie Lewis\, Kate Wolf\, David Grisman and more – is an incredible opportunity to see and hear them together. The event includes a delicious Salisbury steak dinner at 5:30pm ($15 before November 15th\, $20 at the door). Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance.\n7pm.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

SUMMARY:PG Museum’s History on Tap Delves into Vigilantes\, Vendettas\, and Monterey County’s Hidden Stash of Gold
DESCRIPTION:Legend has it that a stash of millions of dollars’ worth of gold still awaits discovery somewhere in Monterey County\, and that’s not even the most interesting part of\nthe true story shared at the Pacific Grove Museum’s History on Tap on November 13th. Attendees will hear the story of Jose Maria Sanchez\, an early cattle rancher and one of the county’s wealthiest men\, who upon his untimely death left the hoard of treasure\nfor his children. From there\, avarice\, jealousy\, feuds\, corruption\, and all the human failings that can appear when a bounty of this magnitude is on the line took hold\, leading to deaths\, murders\, shootouts\, and ghost stories that continue to this day. \nThere’s far more to this tale than can be written here\, but participants will be in very good hands with speakers Brian Edwards\, Library & Museums Director for the City of Monterey\, and Hayley Aiello\, Artifacts\nSpecialist with the City of Monterey and Curatorial Aid with California State Parks. Together they’ll weave this tale of a Monterey from over 150 years ago and find some common ground with today’s landscapes. With a happy half-hour sponsored by Dust Bowl Brewing\nCompany\, the night\, and the story\, should prove unforgettable. \nHistory on Tap will occur on Thursday\, 11/13\, from 5:30-7:30pm. The night will begin with a happy half-hour\, followed by the talk from 6-7 and an audience Q&A from 7-7:30. Talks like this at the Museum often sell\nout\, so interested parties are encouraged to buy their tickets in advance at PGMuseum.org/Events. The Museum’s Science on Tap events are sponsored by PG&E\, whose sponsorship reflects PG&E’s commitment to fostering educational opportunities and connecting people\nwith the natural world. \nUpcoming events at the Museum: \nTidepool Field Sketching Classes: 11/2 & 11/16\, 1-3pm \nGuided Monarch Walks with MPRPD: 11/8 & 11/9\, 10-11am \nHistory on Tap: Vigilantes\, Vendettas\, & the Secret Gold of Monterey: 11/13\, 5:30-7:30pm \nBrown Bag Talk: Winged Wonders\, Biology & Conservation of Monarch Butterflies\, 11/14\, 12:15-12:45 \nSpecial Qigong Session: 11/15\, 9-10am \nScience Saturday: Monarch & Pollinator Magic\, 11/29. 10am-3pm \nWinter Wreathmaking Workshop: December 6\, see session times online. \nSign up for all events at\nwww.pgmusuem.org/events \nFind our outreach team at libraries all over Monterey County on Wednesday afternoons \nAbout the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History \nIn 1883\, the Museum opened its doors among the first wave of natural history museums in America.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.
