The first Friday of each month, the Wildling Art Museum in Los Olivos, a museum devoted to the art of America’s wilderness, screens notable films about nature or art and invites the public to come see them free of charge. The Museum also provides free popcorn and cookies, wine, water and soft drinks. Reservations are not required, but space is limited and seats are available on a first come, first served basis.

On March 3, 7 p.m., the Museum screened “Lewis and Clark,“ a documentary produced for PBS by Ken Burns. This extraordinary film tells the story of the 1803 expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and their Corps of Discovery, from St. Louis to the headwaters of the Missouri River, over the Continental Divide to the Pacific. It was the United States’ first exploration of the West and is one of the nation’s most enduring adventures. The film recounts the remarkable story—not only of the two famous Captains—but the young army men, French-Canadian boatmen, Clark’s African-American slave, and the Shoshone woman named Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son, all filmed against the breath-taking landscape of the West.

“Lewis and Clark, The Journey of the Corps of Discovery” was shown at the Wildling Art Museum’s administrative offices, 2948 Nojoqui Street, Suite 4. For more information, call 688-1082.
