IMAGE COURTESY OF PETER ZALESKI Double steps
Peter Zaleski: Before the Horizon is the current exhibit at the Cuesta College Art Gallery hanging from March 11-April 3 with an artist talk happening on March 12 at 5:30 p.m. in room 7120 on campus and a reception starting at 6 p.m. Zaleski’s exhibition includes new large format assemblage paintings and a survey of prints from the previous seven years by the Templeton-based painter, printmaker, and mixed-media artist. Drawing inspiration from the Central Coast landscape and vineyards, Zaleski’s artworks use a calligraphic style of painting that creates a balanced harmony of forms, imbued with a sophisticated sensibility. The artist says his compositions of geometric shapes and singular colors attempt to “distill the visual essence of the world.” Gallery hours are from 11-4 p.m. Info: 546-3102 
IMAGE COURTESY OF MO MANDEL Comedy central
I personally promise you will laugh out loud so much your face will be burning for days. The Best of San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition is back at the Clark Center on March 13 at 8 p.m. It’s a night of hilarious new material from some of the best comedic talent in the country. For more than two decades the Competition has served as a major career springboard for many talented comedians, among them Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, and Dane Cook. Don’t miss the comedy event of the season, featuring headliner Mo Mandel (pictured), along with comedians Huck Flyn, Sadiki Fuller, and a special guest. Raised by hippies in the woods of northern California, Mandel used to lie awake at night listening to his mother's samba band practicing in the room next door, which ignited his own performance fire. The Clark Center for the Performing Arts is located at Arroyo Grande High School, 487 Fair Oaks Avenue in Arroyo Grande. Info and tickets: 489-9444 or clarkcenter.org.
