Since summer, we’ve been treated to poetry at the workplace and live dance at gas stations, but now it’s coming to a close.

Arts Sonoma, a two-month-long, Sonoma County-wide series of exhibits and performances, many of them in unconventional venues, ends Sunday, Oct. 4.

Arts Sonoma coordinator John Moran offers a few closing highlights:

* The Santa Rosa Youth Symphony ensembles perform at 5 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 3) in front of Santa Rosa Plaza, in front of the giant hand statue. (“The hand won’t be conducting,” Moran quipped.) The repertoire includes Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Brian Wilson music and classics. The ensembles don’t aim to draw a crowd, just provide background music.

* Paul Stokeld of The Toad in Hole pub at 116 Fifth St., in Santa Rosa’s Railroad Square, plans a block party, with the pub’s regular bands and patrons (some of them familiar local actors) performing Monty Python skits and songs, starting at 1 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 4.) Monty Python skits and bands. 544-8623.

“I’ve been puttin’ up posters, and they must look good, because somebody keeps nickin’ ‘em,” Stokeld joked in a pronounced English accent.

* Classical and jazz musician Seth Monfort completes his monthlong, almost nightly, series of concerts, with a performance at 7 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 4) at Club Yamagata, 16225 Main St., Guerneville. 869-9875.

“He calls it the River Alchemy tour, but I call it the Monfort Marathon,” Moran said.

* You have two days left to see artist Hamlet Mateo’s installation piece, “How to Teach a Potato to Say Hello,” with drawings, clay masks (see photo at top) and other artifacts displayed on what looks like theater set, at Hammerfriar Gallery, 139 Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg. Hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. today (Oct. 2) and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday (Oct. 3.)

“When you go in the space, you get this feeling like you’re in one of Hamlet’s drawings,” said gallery owner Jill Plamann. “It’s very mysterious.”
