“A Figurative Affair,” which has become an annual event in Santa Cruz, is scheduled to open on March 1st and will run through April 20th. Co-curators Susan Hancey, Sefla Joseph, and Carol Bowie, who joined the curating team this year, bring together some of Santa Cruz’s most exciting figurative painters and sculptors: artists Susana Arias, Barbara Bartels, Hildy Bernstein, Bonni Carver, Linda Christensen, Barbara Downs, Michele Giulvezan-Tanner, Stephanie Heit, Bridget Henry, Howard Ikemoto, Carol Jeneid, Sefla Joseph, James McElheron, Ron Milhoan, Laura Rice, Ronna Schulkin; and sculptors Robert Blitzer, Carol Bowie, Lila Klapman, and Lisa Silas.

The show will open with a reception on First Friday, March 1st, from 5 to 9. The Blitzer Gallery in support of the Women’s Health Center of Santa Cruz will give a portion of the proceeds from a $5 donation at the door. Each artist expresses the human figure in a distinct and powerful way; the wide spectrum of styles presents an intriguing window into the variety and high quality of figurative art in the Santa Cruz area.
