Weekends; October 22 to December 18, 2011. 10 AM to 4 PM.

Nothing conjures up images of classic California Beach lifestyle more than
the great American Woodie automobiles, and the surfboards that always go
alongside. We have invited owners of Woodies from Los Angeles, Ventura
and Santa Barbara counties to display their cars at the museum, and the
surfboards shown have been made by Ventura County residents.

A display of art work showcasing Woodies will include featured artists
Evelyn Jenkins Drew and Ralph Allen Massey. Evelyn Drew’s artwork
has been used on the Surfrider label of Rosenthal Estate Wines, http://

Hours”, “Woodie Wonderland” and “Hawaii 48”.

Flower of Life

The Flower of life is considered to be a symbol of sacred geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, and it is believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things.

ABSOLUT has always challenged conventions through creative collaborations with artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon and Louise Bourgeois. ABSOLUT BLANK is a daring new chapter for ABSOLUT.

“In ABSOLUT BLANK, ABSOLUT has boldly made its iconic bottle into a blank canvas to inspire artists throughout the world to collaborate and fill it with creativity. We brought together artist collaborators from a variety of disciplines and watched the journey from pure white canvas to exceptional pieces of art. The result depicts how artists and creativity are inspired through ABSOLUT,” says Mark Hamilton, Global Marketing Director at The Absolut Company.

The 18 artists participating in ABSOLUT BLANK represent a variety of creative disciplines; from drawing, painting and sculpting to print making, film making and digital art. Among the artworks are UVA’s high intensity, bright and striking light installations, Mario Wagner’s cut-out imagery and the graphic design of Robert Mars, the colorful painting of Dave Kinsey and the detailed work of Good Wives and Warriors, best known for making labor-intensive, imaginative, intricate and large-scale drawings with titles such as ‘Giant Squids Attacking the Earth’.
