Weekender: Start May with Mondavi Concert, Making Binoculars, Walking

As always during the shelter-at-home order, the Arts Blog continues its efforts to help you enjoy art virtually! This month, by the way, we have experienced our greatest readership ever. This means people are craving art, we think, even if virtually. We deliver. We also give a nod to some of our most famous former faculty, Wayne Thiebaud and Manuel Neri. And if you take the walk suggested by the museum, you'll find fellow-faculty William Wiley's work, as well. We also feature another Manetti Shrem video offering a little project.
