Fort Ord History Presentation and Art Exhibit

Description

Monterey County Free Libraries (MCFL) is pleased to host an artist reception and talk with Planet Ord project founder Enid Baxter Ryce at the Seaside Branch Library. Baxter Ryce will give a multimedia presentation on the now decommissioned Fort Ord, which she has documented through film, photo, and carefully painted maps of this San Francisco-sized military base. A Planet Ord art exhibit will also be on display from November 1-30. The exhibit features selected photographs and painted maps that depict the Fort's history and showcase the many ethereal murals found on the former base. An interactive portion allows visitors to share their memories of Fort Ord.
