SUMMARY:Active 101 Infrastructure Ride Brings a Guided Cycling Tour to Belmont and San Carlos on November 12
DESCRIPTION:Active 101 Infrastructure Ride Brings a Guided Cycling Tour to Belmont and San Carlos on November 12\nCycling enthusiasts\, transportation advocates\, and community members will have an opportunity to explore local transportation infrastructure during the Active 101 Infrastructure Ride: Belmont / San Carlos on Thursday\, November 12\, 2026. This guided bike tour will highlight key areas around US 101 and introduce participants to improvement efforts designed to support active transportation in San Mateo County. \nRunning from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM\, the one-hour ride will offer a closer look at selected transportation routes\, intersections\, and infrastructure connections around Belmont and San Carlos. Participants will learn more about the San Mateo County Transportation Authority’s (SMCTA) San Mateo County Crossings Improvement Plan while experiencing parts of the area by bicycle. \nWith limited spots available\, interested cyclists are encouraged to register in advance to secure their place. \nExplore the San Mateo County Crossings Improvement Plan\nThe Active 101 Infrastructure Ride offers a practical opportunity to understand how transportation planning can influence everyday travel. Rather than simply discussing proposed improvements\, participants will explore selected locations along the route and see the surrounding infrastructure firsthand. \nThe ride will showcase the US 101/Holly Street Interchange\, segments of Industrial Road\, and an ending point along Old County Road. These locations form part of a broader conversation about improving connections for people who walk\, cycle\, and use other forms of active transportation near the US 101 corridor. \nFor residents and commuters\, transportation infrastructure plays an important role in determining how easily they can reach workplaces\, neighborhoods\, transit stations\, and nearby destinations. Routes that feel disconnected or difficult to navigate can discourage people from choosing alternatives to driving. \nGuided infrastructure tours help make these issues easier to understand by allowing participants to observe existing conditions and consider how improvements could make local journeys more convenient and accessible. \nUnderstanding the Active 101 Plan\nThe Active 101 Plan identifies changes needed to support active transportation within a quarter mile of US 101. Its focus highlights the importance of creating better connections around a major transportation corridor while considering the needs of people traveling by bicycle or on foot. \nHighways and major roads can present challenges for active transportation. Interchanges\, busy intersections\, and gaps between routes may make nearby destinations feel farther apart than they are. Improving connections around these areas can help create more practical options for local travel. \nThe San Mateo County Crossings Improvement Plan is part of the larger effort to examine transportation connections and identify opportunities for improvement. By exploring selected locations during the ride\, participants can develop a better understanding of the relationship between existing infrastructure and future planning. \nThe tour may also appeal to residents interested in urban planning\, sustainable transportation\, and the future of cycling in the Peninsula. Seeing the locations in person can provide a useful perspective that maps and written descriptions alone may not offer. \nParticipants interested in learning more about the individual projects can consult the official information provided by the event organizers and SMCTA. \nA Guided Ride Through Belmont and San Carlos\nThe event will begin at the San Carlos Caltrain entrance on Old County Road at East San Carlos Avenue. From there\, the guided bicycle tour will showcase selected locations connected to the US 101 corridor. \nThe planned route includes the US 101/Holly Street Interchange and portions of Industrial Road before concluding along Old County Road. Additional route details are expected to be announced\, so registered participants should watch for updates from the organizers. \nThe one-hour format makes the event a manageable opportunity for people who want to combine cycling with learning about local infrastructure. It also offers a chance to see familiar roads from a different perspective and consider how transportation design affects cyclists and other road users. \nBecause this is a guided ride rather than a conventional sightseeing tour\, participants should be prepared to follow the designated route and any instructions provided by the event organizers. \nWhat Participants Need to Bring\nPreparation is essential for a comfortable and responsible cycling experience. Participants are expected to bring their own bicycles\, helmets\, water bottles\, and sunscreen. \nA properly maintained bicycle can help make the ride more comfortable\, while a correctly fitted helmet provides important protection. Bringing enough drinking water is also advisable\, even for a relatively short event\, particularly when cycling outdoors. \nSunscreen can help protect exposed skin during the ride. Participants may also wish to wear comfortable clothing suitable for cycling and check their bicycles before departure\, including the brakes\, tires\, and gears. \nSince the event’s route details may be updated\, registered cyclists should review any additional instructions before arriving at the meeting point. \nEvent Details: Date\, Time\, and Location\nMark your calendar for this educational cycling experience in San Carlos. \nEvent: Active 101 Infrastructure Ride: Belmont / San Carlos \nDate: Thursday\, November 12\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM (GMT-08:00) \nDuration: One hour \nMeeting point: San Carlos Caltrain entrance on Old County Road at East San Carlos Avenue \nAddress: 601 Old County Road\, San Carlos\, United States \nLanguage: English \nRegistration: Required; spots are limited. \nParticipants should register in advance and monitor official event communications for updates regarding the route and meeting arrangements. \nRegister and Discover the Future of Active Transportation\nThe Active 101 Infrastructure Ride offers more than a morning cycling outing. It provides an opportunity to explore transportation challenges\, learn about planned improvements\, and better understand how infrastructure can support walking and cycling near US 101. \nWhether you are a regular cyclist\, a local resident\, or someone interested in sustainable transportation\, this guided tour offers a valuable way to engage with the future of Belmont and San Carlos. \nWith limited spaces available\, early registration is recommended. Bring your bicycle\, helmet\, water bottle\, and sunscreen\, and join fellow participants on November 12 for an informative ride through key locations in San Mateo County. \nExplore the route\, learn about local improvements\, and be part of the conversation about better connections for active transportation. \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nSee other interesting events in San Carlos.

SUMMARY:Poinsettia in Pastels: Create a Beautiful Holiday-Inspired Painting at ART BIAS in San Carlos
DESCRIPTION:Poinsettia in Pastels: Create a Beautiful Holiday-Inspired Painting at ART BIAS in San Carlos\nCelebrate the beauty of the holiday season through art at Poinsettia in Pastels\, a creative painting workshop taking place at ART BIAS in San Carlos on Saturday\, November 21\, 2026. Led by pastel artist Deb Shea\, this hands-on class invites participants to explore the fundamentals of pastel painting while creating their own beautiful poinsettia artwork inspired by one of the season’s most recognizable flowers. \nScheduled from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM\, the three-hour workshop offers an opportunity to develop artistic skills\, experiment with colors\, and discover techniques for transforming a simple sketch into a finished floral painting. Designed for beginning-to-intermediate artists\, the class welcomes those who are new to pastels as well as participants who want to strengthen their existing abilities. \nLocated at ART BIAS\, Studio 114\, at 1700 Industrial Road in San Carlos\, California\, the workshop provides a dedicated setting for learning\, creativity\, and artistic exploration. \nDiscover the Beauty of Poinsettias Through Pastel Art\nPoinsettias are widely associated with the holiday season\, thanks to their striking red bracts\, vibrant green foliage\, and distinctive appearance. Their bold colors and layered forms make them an appealing subject for artists interested in floral painting. \nIn Poinsettia in Pastels\, participants will have the opportunity to interpret this seasonal flower through the expressive qualities of pastel art. Rather than simply copying what they see\, students will learn how artistic techniques can help them create a balanced composition and bring their subject to life. \nPastels are especially appealing for floral artwork because they allow artists to work directly with color\, build layers\, and create a variety of textures. With the right approach\, students can explore the contrast between the poinsettia’s vivid red bracts and its surrounding green leaves while developing a better understanding of shape\, light\, and visual balance. \nThe workshop offers a chance to slow down\, observe the details of a familiar seasonal subject\, and discover how small artistic decisions can transform a drawing into an expressive painting. \nWhether you enjoy botanical art\, seasonal crafts\, or learning a new creative skill\, this class provides an inviting way to spend a Saturday morning. \nLearn the Fundamentals of Pastel Painting\nThe workshop introduces several essential art concepts that can help participants develop a stronger foundation in painting. \nStudents will explore value\, composition\, and color\, three important elements that influence how an artwork looks and feels. \nValue refers to the relative lightness or darkness of colors. Understanding value helps artists create the appearance of depth\, distinguish overlapping forms\, and make important parts of a painting stand out. \nComposition involves arranging the elements within an artwork. By considering the placement\, size\, and relationship of the flower and its surrounding leaves\, participants can create a painting that feels organized and visually engaging. \nColor is equally important when painting poinsettias. Learning how colors interact can help students capture the vibrancy of the flower while maintaining harmony throughout the composition. \nThese concepts are useful far beyond floral painting. Once understood\, they can be applied to landscapes\, still-life arrangements\, portraits\, and many other artistic subjects. \nFor beginners\, learning these fundamentals provides a practical starting point. For more experienced students\, revisiting them can help refine technique and encourage more intentional artistic choices. \nFrom Sketches to a Finished Poinsettia Painting\nOne of the central activities of the class is learning how to develop an artwork through several stages. \nParticipants will work with sketches\, underpainting\, and layering to create their own pastel paintings. Each stage serves a different purpose and helps students understand how a composition develops. \nSketching establishes the basic arrangement of the subject. It allows artists to identify the flower’s overall shape and plan where the leaves and other elements will appear before adding color. \nUnderpainting introduces an initial layer that helps establish the painting’s structure and tonal relationships. This stage can guide the development of color and value as the artwork progresses. \nLayering then allows participants to build up colors\, refine shapes\, and introduce details. Through this process\, the poinsettia gradually takes form\, with its distinctive bracts and foliage becoming more defined. \nLearning these steps can make pastel painting feel more approachable\, especially for people who are unsure how to begin a piece of artwork. Rather than trying to complete everything at once\, students can focus on building their paintings gradually. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will have the opportunity to create their own interpretation of a beautiful poinsettia while gaining practical experience with the medium. \nA Beginning-to-Intermediate Class With Deb Shea\nPoinsettia in Pastels is designed for beginning-to-intermediate students. No advanced artistic background is required to benefit from learning the fundamentals\, making the class an appealing option for people interested in exploring a new hobby. \nParticipants who are just starting can become familiar with basic techniques\, materials\, and artistic terminology. Those with previous experience can use the session to practice composition\, improve their use of color\, and experiment with layering. \nThe class is taught by Deb Shea\, who guides participants through the creative process. Learning in a studio environment offers an opportunity to concentrate on the artwork\, follow a structured lesson\, and explore techniques through hands-on practice. \nAll supplies are included\, so attendees can focus on learning and creating without having to purchase their own materials in advance. \nThe cost is $110 per class\, covering the three-hour workshop. For anyone looking for a creative activity before the holiday season gets underway\, the session combines practical instruction with the enjoyment of making something by hand. \nContinue Your Artistic Journey at ART BIAS\nPoinsettia in Pastels is part of a recurring monthly pastel class taught by Deb Shea. Each month introduces new themes and techniques\, allowing participants to continue exploring the medium and building their artistic confidence. \nThis ongoing format can be especially valuable for students who want to make art a regular part of their lives. With each new subject\, participants can practice familiar skills while learning different ways to approach color\, composition\, texture\, and form. \nThe monthly series also provides opportunities to experiment with different artistic subjects throughout the year. Seasonal flowers such as poinsettias offer a timely source of inspiration in November\, while future classes will introduce additional themes and techniques. \nFor San Carlos residents and nearby art enthusiasts\, ART BIAS offers a place to engage with the local creative community and dedicate time to artistic development. \nEvent Details: Date\, Time\, and Location\nEvent: Poinsettia in Pastels \nDate: Saturday\, November 21\, 2026 \nTime: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (GMT-08:00) \nDoors open: 8:45 AM \nDuration: Three hours \nInstructor: Deb Shea \nVenue: ART BIAS\, Studio 114 \nAddress: 1700 Industrial Road\, San Carlos\, California\, United States \nSkill level: Beginning to intermediate \nCost: $110 per class \nMaterials: All supplies included \nAdvance registration is recommended.

SUMMARY:Red Roses in Pastels: Discover the Beauty of Floral Art at ART BIAS in San Carlos on November 21
DESCRIPTION:Red Roses in Pastels: Discover the Beauty of Floral Art at ART BIAS in San Carlos on November 21\nArt enthusiasts and aspiring pastel artists are invited to explore the beauty of floral painting at Red Roses in Pastels\, a creative workshop taking place at ART BIAS in San Carlos on Saturday\, November 21\, 2026. Led by nationally renowned and award-winning pastel artist Deborah Shea\, this beginning-to-intermediate class will introduce participants to techniques for capturing the elegance\, color\, and delicate shapes of red roses. \nRunning from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM\, the three-hour workshop offers an opportunity to develop artistic skills\, experiment with pastels\, and discover new ways to interpret the natural world through art. Whether you are beginning your journey with pastels or looking to refine your existing techniques\, this class provides an inviting setting to learn\, create\, and connect with your artistic side. \nThe workshop will take place at ART BIAS\, Studio 114\, located at 1700 Industrial Road\, San Carlos\, California. \nExplore the Beauty of Red Roses Through Pastels\nFew flowers capture the imagination quite like roses. Their layered petals\, rich colors\, and graceful forms provide endless inspiration for artists. In Red Roses in Pastels\, participants will explore how to translate these natural details into expressive works of art. \nRather than attempting to reproduce every petal with intricate detail\, the class will focus on understanding the essential shapes\, colors\, highlights\, and shadows that give flowers their character. These techniques help artists create floral compositions that feel dimensional\, balanced\, and visually engaging. \nParticipants will learn how light interacts with petals\, how shadows define the form of a flower\, and how simplifying complex shapes can make a painting more effective. The class will also explore complementary colors\, helping students understand how contrasting hues can enhance a composition and make its colors appear more vibrant. \nThese foundational concepts are useful beyond painting roses. Once understood\, they can be applied to other flowers\, botanical subjects\, still-life compositions\, and a wide range of pastel artwork. \nFor anyone interested in floral art\, the workshop offers a chance to slow down\, observe nature more closely\, and discover the creative possibilities of working with color. \nA Beginning-to-Intermediate Class for Growing Artists\nRed Roses in Pastels is designed for beginning-to-intermediate students\, making it suitable for participants who are learning the medium as well as those who already have some experience. \nBeginners can use the session to develop a stronger understanding of pastel techniques and learn how to approach a floral subject without becoming overwhelmed by its details. More experienced participants can use the class to refine their observation skills\, improve their use of light and shadow\, and experiment with color relationships. \nAn important part of learning to paint flowers is recognizing which details matter most. By simplifying petals into larger shapes and observing the relationship between light and dark areas\, artists can create paintings that communicate the beauty of a flower without relying on excessive detail. \nThe workshop also provides an opportunity to learn in a dedicated studio environment\, where participants can focus on their work and explore the creative process alongside other art enthusiasts. \nAll supplies are included\, allowing attendees to concentrate on learning and creating rather than gathering materials beforehand. \nThe class costs $110 per participant and runs for three hours\, providing a focused opportunity to practice new skills under the guidance of an experienced artist. \nMeet Deborah Shea\, the Award-Winning Pastel Artist\nThe workshop will be taught by Deborah Shea\, a nationally renowned and award-winning pastel artist whose work has been exhibited at respected institutions and art venues. \nHer recent exhibitions include the Triton Museum\, Chan Zuckerberg Community Space\, and Society of West Coast Artists. She is also a regular teacher at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. \nBefore devoting herself full-time to studio art\, Shea enjoyed a successful career in graphic design. Her professional background contributes to her artistic perspective\, combining an understanding of visual composition with a deep appreciation for the forms and colors found in nature. \nShea describes the natural world as a major source of inspiration. Her interest in flowers centers on their beauty and the expressive possibilities of their forms\, from abstract shapes within flower centers to the delicate arrangement of individual petals. \nFlowers can carry powerful symbolic meanings\, including energy\, hope\, engagement\, and reinvigoration. Through her work\, Shea explores how floral subjects can communicate these ideas while celebrating the visual richness of the natural world. \nHer experience as both a practicing artist and an educator makes this workshop an opportunity for participants to learn from someone who understands the creative process and the importance of developing artistic skills. \nAn Artistic Journey Rooted in Education and Experience\nDeborah Shea earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Design from the University of California\, Davis. During her studies\, she participated in a summer course with several influential artists\, including Ruth Asawa\, Wayne Thiebaud\, Roland Peterson\, and Frances Butler. \nShe has exhibited her work in dozens of exhibitions locally and nationally\, building a professional artistic practice centered on observation\, experimentation\, and creative expression. \nShea is also currently pursuing her Master of Fine Arts at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Her continued education reflects an ongoing commitment to artistic development and exploration. \nFor students attending Red Roses in Pastels\, the opportunity to learn from an artist with this background can provide valuable insight into both technique and the broader creative journey. Participants can explore the practical elements of painting while gaining inspiration from an instructor who continues to develop her own work. \nThose interested in learning more about the artist and viewing her work can visit her website at Deborah Shea Studios. \nA Monthly Pastel Class at ART BIAS\nRed Roses in Pastels is part of a recurring monthly pastel class taught by Deborah Shea. Each month introduces new themes and techniques\, giving participants an opportunity to continue developing their skills over time. \nThis ongoing format can be particularly appealing to people who want to make art a regular part of their lives. Instead of treating a single workshop as an isolated experience\, students can build on what they learn and gradually expand their understanding of the medium. \nExploring different subjects each month can also encourage experimentation. Floral compositions\, color studies\, and other themes offer opportunities to practice familiar techniques while discovering new approaches. \nART BIAS provides a dedicated setting for this creative experience\, bringing artists and art lovers together in San Carlos. \nEvent Details: Date\, Time\, and Location\nEvent: Red Roses in Pastels \nDate: Saturday\, November 21\, 2026 \nTime: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM (GMT-08:00) \nDoors open: 12:45 PM \nDuration: Three hours \nInstructor: Deborah Shea \nVenue: ART BIAS\, Studio 114 \nAddress: 1700 Industrial Road\, San Carlos\, CA\, United States \nSkill level: Beginning to intermediate \nCost: $110 per class \nMaterials: All supplies included \nAdvance registration is recommended.
