- Welcome September + Architecture & The City Festival
Hearing about “Investigating Urban Metabolisms” so soon after lunch may have you reeling, but program details for the seventh Architecture and the City Festival may get you ready to digest (tours, films and lectures, that is). For the month of September, the American Institute of Architects’ local chapter has planned events that consider how information, [...]
- Outdoors Again >> The Amrita Edition
Ah, weekend getaway. I’m still getting back to it after a camping trip with pals took me to Yosemite, and while I’m not much of a camper, well-outfitted friends demonstrated how much nicer being outside all night can be with select gear. Since I’ve been back in the City by the Bay, I’m realizing what [...]
- Exploring Urban Futures at GAFFTA
Starting tonight at 6 Pacific time, the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts will be presenting a second set of SENSEable Cities talks in conjunction with the digital art space’s partnership with MIT. After yesterday’s “New York Talk Exchange” visualization, I’m upset to miss these two talks tonight especially: Trash Track foreshadows the internet of [...]
- To North Carolina with Love
Graphic designer extraordinaire Jamie Panzarella passed along Raleigh Denim: Handcrafted in North Carolina from David Huppert, and I loved it after a) researching small batch denim crafting in SF for The Bold Italic, and b) taking a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains last weekend. And not to fear: you’ll see more from the Ladywood [...]
- Intersection Highlights Trash Turned Treasure
Some of the most fun I had during my first year in advertising involved working with two artists in the SF Dump’s Artist in Residency program (count on our fair city to be one of the only ones nationwide that gives artists the privilege). Tables with bike wheels, sod couches and bulletproof benches were among [...]
- Introducing the Social Impact Challenge
In advance of its October conference around financial opportunities for enterprise organizations, SoCap (social capital markets “at the intersection of money and meaning”) is co-sponsoring a challenge to address what’s next for impact investment. In collaboration with the sustainably-minded business company Triple Pundit and the Myoo platform, the conference will be awarding a free pass [...]
- Mission Mercado, Edición Dos
San Franciscans need not wait until the weekend for farm fresh comida thanks to a new Mission Community Market on Thursday nights. Today marks the second week for a non-profit marketplace that includes products from Yerena Farms, Rubber Ducky Soap, Twin Girls Farm, and Rainbow Orchards among others. Musicians will be on hand tonight to [...]
- Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead Comes to Kabuki
The closest I’ve been to fruit and vegetable juicing is a colleague’s experience whipping together radish/spinach/apple/pear juice in our work lunchroom. Not exactly hands on. But tonight’s private screening of “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” at the Kabuki may have me changing my tune: the “part road trip, part wellness manifesto” follows two men looking [...]
- SFAI and Levi’s on Sustainable Sculpture
Local historians and anthropologists, stand aside (for the quarter at least): students at the San Francisco Art Institution will be receiving instruction from Levi Strauss & Co. resident historian Lynn Downey starting today. A sustainable sculpture studio at SFAI will focus on design and recycled denim as part of the two organizations’ Fashioning the Future [...]
- KAYU Expands to Bags & Classrooms
Sometimes good things come in doubles, as KAYU Design reminds me with designer Jamie Lim’s relocation to SF and today’s unveiling of company’s 1 handbag = 1 backpack program. Now that their bamboo sunglasses are helping provide finances for sight-restoring surgeries, a portion of proceeds from a new line of sustainable bags will benefit Awareness [...]
