Planning a trip to New York City in the next couple of months? If you are, here's one more activity worth squeezing in.

Esteemed Sacramento artist Fred Dalkey (husband to The Bee's art correspondant, Victoria Dalkey, of course) will have an exhibit at the Paul Thiebaud Gallery from May 8-June 23.

The "Life Drawings" show has another local connection - it was curated by the acclaimed Wayne Thiebaud (who, yes, is father to Paul Theibaud).

So if you find yourself in the Big Apple, the gallery is at 42 E. 76th St. Visit its Web site for gallery hours.
