Willits Center for the Arts April exhibit
The Willits Center for the Arts is proud to display paintings by Margaret Pirrouette and redwood crafts by Juliet and Erwin Ludwig April 2 through April 30.
Margaret Pirouette was born in New York and has lived in Willits since the late 1970s. She has been painting and drawing since the 1960s. Margaret is one of the faithful members of the Art Center’s life drawing class, which we hope will be able to resume soon. In this show,
Margaret will present new works of watercolors and oil paintings.
J and E Crafts refers to Juliet and Erwin, they’re a couple that happens to do a lot together including craftwork. After many years as a scientist, Erwin is getting back into his love for woodwork that his Dad had taught him as a young child. They live and work in Ukiah.

Through musical excerpts, historical context, and insightful conversations with musicians, Up Close and Classical invites you to lean in and listen closely to the music you love. From Bizet to Ravel, Dr. Philip Lenberg’s podcast focuses on some of the most influential French composers of the late 19th century. For more information, visit symphonyoftheredwoods.org.
