(233)

Located on over 200 scenic acres in the "Los Carneros" region of the Napa Valley, di Rosa offers visitors refuge, a spacious environment where all are welcome to enjoy the art of Northern California in a singularly unique setting, with a wide array of exhibitions and educational programs for all ages. The property includes two large galleries, a sculpture meadow, a 35-acre lake aptly named "Winery

Lake," and a wildlife preserve. In addition to changing exhibitions of contemporary art, year-round programs include artist talks, nature hikes, docent and school tours, Spanish-language tours, and special performances.

When Squeak Carnwath was the shop master in the ceramics department at CCA, she mixed a glaze recipe incorrectly, and a number of her students' cups came out a greenish "mucus-y" color. Some of the students were disappointed and threw the cups away. Carnwath, however, saw potential and retrieved the cups from the trash. She incorporated them, along with cups she made herself, onto multiple artworks, including “Cup Form”. At this early stage in her career, Carnwath was exploring the idea of humans as vessels or containers of cultural events.

Come check out "Cup Form", currently on view in Gallery 2 as part of The Incorrect Museum in Napa.

Watch your head! Art conservator Justin Wyckoff prepares to reattach the “head” of Robert Hudson’s Figure of Speech, 1984. The piece has kinetic elements which sometimes collide in the wind causing damage to the paint.

Three of the smaller elements, including the "head", were detached and brought to an indoor studio where Justin began by carefully stripping the failed yellow coating from the artwork.

Then he mechanically removed various rusted areas down to the bare metal substrate before priming with an epoxy primer and repainting with a compatible paint system.

Finally, each element (and eventually the main torso of the sculpture) was given three applications of a diamond finish UV-protective satin clear coat so that the colors will remain bright and saturated for many seasons to come.

We have a new groundskeeper at di Rosa Napa! Yep, that's right, it's a baby owl!
Come try to spot it, or any of the other spring babies, new to our Napa campus.

We would be remiss to not highlight What the Owl Said, a work in our permanent collection by William T. Wiley, borrowing the poem by Michael Hannon.

DOME STORY 1: The Dome Alligator

The Dome, a live-work project founded by Peter Voulkos, was home to many artists for the past 50 years and even, to one very special alligator!

Image shows Ann Adair Voulkous posing with the Dome's very own pet alligator, in it's habitat in the hot tub on the rooftop of the Dome, c. 1980.

The Dome's pet alligator inspired Ann Adair Voulkos' ceramic alligator series, a select few featured in The Dome Show. Pictured is Two Alligators with Capes Slow Dancing, Ann Adair Voulkos, 1993.

Stay tuned for more secret stories from the history of The Dome, or come by di Rosa SF to check them out for yourself!
