October means fall is almost here. A couple of heat waves first and then we can settle into autumn and the spooky season. Art season to. There is something going on around town from now until forever! The fall Brewery Art Walk was this past weekend and was super fun. Everyone I know was running around arting and having a blast. The Highland Park Independent Film Festival also happened this past weekend. You may have seen the schedule in last month’s edition. Hopefully you got a chance to catch some of their films. Wander over to Poet’s Place to read this months poetry provided to you every month by the lovely Linda Kaye.
I mentioned last month that PST was starting, and sure enough exhibits are opening every weekend. Go to their website to see what’s new. And read on below for more art suggestions that are going on around town.

Please join us to celebrate the opening of Yolanda M. López’s twin exhibitions Portrait of the Artist and Women's Work is Never Done, and the opening reception for Desde los Cielos.
Portrait of the Artist presents a compendium of López’s work from the 1970s and 1980s, when she created an influential body of paintings, drawings, and collages that investigate and reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and society at large.
Women’s Work is Never Done is an exhibition of rediscovered drawings, collages, paintings, photographs, prints, and process pieces that charts the evolution of Lopez’s creative projects over six decades from the 1960s to the 2020s.
