Event Description Join us for a special artists' reception and the public unveiling of the Athenaeum's newest Main and Rotunda Gallery exhibits - David Adey: "John Henry" and Charlie Miller: "Anything but Rehab." Both exhibits will be on view through April 3, 2010. Admission is to the opening reception and gallery are free. Please visit the official Athenaeum website for more information, http://www.ljathenaeum.org, or call us at 858.454.5872.



Rising San Diego artist David Adey gets down to the basics of things, observing, “All art is made out of things. All things are made out of stuff. All stuff is made from other stuff.” Adey will transform the Main Gallery space, in a tribute to some of the Athenaeum’s favorite “stuff,” books. David Adey is this year's 2010 recipient of the San Diego Art Prize.



In the Rotunda Gallery, Los Angeles-based artist Charlie Miller will exhibit Anything but Rehab, a new series of paintings. Miller is currently working on these in his Sherman Heights studio, a former pharmacy which came replete with two decades of medical ephemera from the 1950s and 60s. He uses acrylics, collaged with vintage prescriptions and modern advertisements.
