Art Show
Cuesta College Art Classes:
Preschool to Emeritus
In February, Castoro Cellars is pleased to bring you something a little different – art work created by local art students enrolled in the Cuesta College Art Program, from preschool to Emeritus. The show runs February 1st through February 28th.
A variety of media will be exhibited, from fingerpaint to oils. Styles will include anything from the exuberant and liberal use of color from the Preschool classes to the wealth of life experience exhibited by the Emeritus class painters.
The Cuesta Children’s Centers are Early Childhood Education Lab Schools and child-centered day care facilities which encourage children to choose freely from a wide range of play and learning experiences.
Cuesta’s Emeritus classes are free enrichment courses geared for adults 50 years and above. They offer lifelong learning through a variety of interactive and educational formats. Classes are designed for older adults who want to continue learning and are taught by expert instructors who help explore new topics and activities.
Come and meet the artists at a special free artists’ reception on Sunday, February 7, from 1 pm to 4 pm. Hors d’oeuvres will be served, and wine will be available for purchase by the glass for $5, with proceeds benefiting the North County Cuesta Children’s Center.

 Never seen Fishtank Ensemble before? You are in for one heck of a suprise. These folks make some simply amazing music.
Fishtank Ensemble is world music like you've never heard before. From a dark croony gypsy jazz song sung in manouche to a wild Transylvanian gypsy anthem, to a flamenco song played on some unlikely instruments, they will have you swooning.
"For those in need of having their dervish whirled, the Bay Area's Fishtank Ensemble are the rompin' stompin' leaders of cross-pollinated Gypsy music...one of the most thrilling live acts on the planet." - LA Weekly
