Welcome to the Art Palette for Sept. 7. Summer is over and the fall season is starting off with a bang. There's definitely more hot happenings this weekend than any one person could possible attend but choose your entertainment options carefully. The visual art scene is looking great with openings at the Santa Monica Museum of Art and many Bergamot galleries — plan on dedicating Saturday evening to a full-scale gallery crawl that starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until 11 p.m. The theatre scene comes alive with new shows at City Garage and the Powerhouse Theater. And for the younger crowd, the Santa Monica Pier premieres a new concert series for children and families. All in all, another great weekend for culture here in Santa Monica.
