This week in the galleries:
Cain Schulte Gallery shows off a large group drawing show, meanwhile Jancar Jones has Bruno Fazzolari. Catherine Clark brings two enticing evening offerings to the table. Berkeley Art Museum produces another cool L@TE program on Friday. Several artist talks round out the week.

Also, get ready for December:
A special Artcards Team will be heading to Miami Basel, where we will have a publication booth at the NADA Art Fair. We will be supplying all the details and reportage you will need whether you will be going in person or following the action from a far.
