Event Highlights - 2008
Reid Winfrey's painting "Playing
With Fire" was presented to the San Jose, California, Fire
Department in August by the San Jose Japantown community and the Art
Object Gallery. The gift was in recognition of the Department's "truly
sensitive and miraculous performance on the morning of November 28th,
2007". The Department was called to a serious fire immediately next
door to the gallery and needed to break through the gallery in order
to access the fire; despite the urgency of the situation firefighters
went to great lengths to preserve the artworks in the gallery and very
few works were damaged. Battalion Chief Kevin Conant and dozens of firefighters
were on hand at Art Object Gallery to celebrate the presentation and
raise funds for burn victims in San Jose.
The "surf" series painting "Blue View" was featured in Longboard
Magazine's Art of Surfing issue in October.
Nineteen new works were exhibited at Stanford University in a show entitled
Summer, with Dogs.
