‘SHIFTwork’ at NUMU
New Museum Los Gatos is partnering with the San Jose Woman’s Club for an event called “SHIFTwork.” The event, which will take place Saturday, Oct. 23, 1-2:30 p.m., will mark the museum’s first in-person program since pandemic restrictions began.
“SHIFTwork” aims to highlight the often invisible work done by women by encouraging participants to examine their own work habits. The program will be led by artist Sawyer Rose in conjunction with her exhibition “Carrying Stones” at NUMU, located at 106 E. Main St.
Admission to the event is free for museum members and $10 for non-members. Attendees will be expected to follow COVID-19 safety protocols, including wearing masks indoors and proof of vaccination.
