Check out the latest Bedford Gallery exhibit Bits + Pieces, Contemporary Art on a Small Scale, through December 17th in downtown Walnut Creek.
From the exhibit web page:
From teacup dogs and ships in a bottle, to tiny dinner tables set with a feast, fascination with pint-sized items has endured the test of time. The featured artists work in micro and small-scale, creating intricate paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and installations in direct opposition to their standard-sized counterparts.

x2o Studio, a high intensity Pilates studio with location in Los Gatos, opened a second location recently in Danville Square. Check out their schedule here and buy a special grand opening class pass or regular package here.

The XFormer is a high intensity, low impact pilates machine designed to push your body to the limit without breaking it down. It’s loosely based off a traditional pilates reformer, but designed for a heavier strength based workout.
