The Art Center community is invited to attend tonight’s opening reception for TOOLS at the Williamson Gallery. The reception will take place tonight, Oct. 22, in the Williamson Gallery from 7 to 9 pm.

For millennia, tools have transcended biological limits, playing a role in human physical and cultural evolution. TOOLS explores this theme by mixing art with artifacts from natural history and science. TOOLS is a part of ORIGINS: Art & Ideas 2009, the fifth in a series of theme-based collaborations among Pasadena arts and sciences organizations.
