M. Stark Gallery is opening in January in a newly remodeled 120-year-old building located in the historic downtown district of Half Moon Bay. Owner Marianna Stark says the gallery will feature artists whose work evokes the spirit of the West Coast and is in dialogue with contemporary fine art movements. The first exhibition is a solo show featuring 83-year-old sculptor and Pacifica resident Jerry Ross Barrish. Barrish’s materials are upcycled plastic junk, harvested from beaches and treasure troves like Urban Ore. Barrish is the long-time creative director of the nonprofit Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica. Also in the building is the Stark-Perry Coastside Artists Retreat, an invitational residency program for artists of all disciplines. A grand opening reception is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 22. The gallery be open weekends and by appointment.
