The Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum and Carriage House presents an exhibit featuring artwork of a lesser known Western-style artist from the private collections of locals. The exhibit Borrowed Borein: Art of the West from the diverse collections of Valley residents, features the paintings of Edward Borein, a California native who lived from 1872 to 1945, from June 4 through Sept. 5.
The exhibit will include some of Borein’s etchings, watercolors, and oil paintings from the private collections of Santa Ynez Valley residents as well as Santa Barbara museums and galleries. The artist settled in Santa Barbara, and used his art to document the fading culture of the West, from horseback riding to landscapes and animals.
An opening reception for the show is June 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum, 3596 Sagunto St., Santa Ynez. More information is available at 688-7889 or santaynezmuseum.org.
