New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU)

Ebb &amp; Flow runs from Friday, July 11, 2025 to Sunday, January 4, 2026.
New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) presents an exhibition of three artists who explore the cyclical nature of life, nature, and energy and how each of these forces contributes to personal healing. Through their work, these artists delve into the subtleties of natural phenomena, reflecting on the constantly changing landscapes of both the external world and inner self. Each artwork invites viewers to embrace rejuvenating moments that inspire self-discovery and evoke a profound sense of inner vitality, while reflecting on the life around them. By celebrating the richness of being human —our unique ability to recognize beauty and the profound connection to nature’s cycles– each artist affirms that we are an integral part of the natural world.
Showcasing the artistic practices of the three featured artists, this exhibition explores the delicate equilibrium of humanity and nature, serving as a catalyst for meaningful conversations. Through their artistic collaboration these women hope to emulate and foster a deeper understanding of our interconnected roles, and an appreciation for our place in the intricate web of existence.

Were you living or working in Los Gatos in the 1960s? New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is asking our community to loan photos, stories, objects, or momentos from life in Los Gatos in the 1960s to be featured in an exhibition celebrating the museum’s 60th anniversary. The Los Gatos Museum Association was founded in 1965 and had its first home at the adobe firehouse on Tait Avenue. We want to celebrate and uncover what made this creative time period so unique, whether that's our residents, businesses, or abundant bohemian history with the likes of John Steinbeck, etc.

Date Saturday, January 31, 2025 Time 1-4 PM Location NUMU | 106 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA, 95030 Cost $95 General, $75 NUMU Members. <a href="https://www.numulosgatos.org/membership" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Become a member today! </a>
Join book and fiber artist Jody Alexander (on view in Stitches &amp; Wiggles) at NUMU for an afternoon of learning all things mending. In this 3-hour workshop, the artist will teach a variety of mending techniques. Mending techniques are used to repair and strengthen garments and other textile items. But, when left visible, the repairs are also decorative and add texture, line, color, and can be quite charming! The techniques can also be used in paper and textile art pieces.
In this workshop students will create a sampler of mending techniques seen in Japanese and French textiles. After learning the techniques, attendees will proceed to repair or embellish a garment or other textile item of their choice. Some materials will be provided, but each student will bring an item that needs repair, or embellishing and will apply one or more of the mending techniques learned in the class.
The instructor will bring items from her collection of mended textiles for inspiration. Students should bring a textile item that has a worn area that needs reinforcing, a hole or tear that requires repair, a stain that needs covering, or an item that simply could use some stitchery embellishment. This can be a pair of pants, a dress, a shirt or skirt, a tablecloth, a curtain, or other textile item.
Students should bring the following:
<ul><li>Threads you may want to work with: embroidery, machine thread, sashiko, pearl cotton, etc.</li><li>Scraps of fabric to use as patches</li><li>An item to repair or embellish</li><li>Needles to fit your threads</li><li>Pins</li><li>Scissors</li><li>Thread snips (optional)</li></ul>
