- 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 [...]
- Starting the Week the Haberdash Way
I just returned to SF from an East Coast/Midwest holiday to find that temperatures in the City by the Bay have risen to near-summer levels, and I’m hopeful that they’ll have us turning to new closet items over the parkas we’ve become accustomed to. Enter The Haberdash, a local fashion show and party taking place [...]
- ArtHaus Hosts Schiavo’s “Backyard”
After making SF Gate’s Best of the Bay List for local galleries, SOMA shop ArtHaus isn’t resting on its laurels. Co-founders and gallerists James Bacchi and Annette Schutz are currently hosting a fantastic (if head-scratching) set of images with “The Backyard,” chromeogenic prints by Chris Schiavo. I was most excited for works compiled for the [...]
- 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 [...]
- MacNaughton Gets Sneakerific
When Women 2.0 co-founder Shaherose Charania told me that she received a pair of Asics as a thank you gift for speaking at a conference recently, it made me want to get back on the speaker circuit. In the meantime, I loved local illustrator Wendy MacNaughton’s poster below promoting a party Thursday at Shoebiz on [...]
- 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 [...]
- Welcome Hue Amour
When designer Chris Olson packed her bags to head to Florida, I was sad because–among many other things–few people can brighten up a studio apartment the way she can. Thankfully she’s opened Hue Amour, a color consultation and decorating biz to spread the interior joy. Have a look–you’ll like.
- Reading with Curiosity
Should you consider yourself curious and creative (and who here doesn’t?), getting thyself to Valencia Street’s Curiosity Shoppe tonight might make for an inspiring experience. The store is hosting a five-to-eight fiesta in honor of UPPERCASE, a very well designed new publication that’s, quite frankly, not safe for work from the perspective that its visual [...]
- Wanderlust Festival >> Feathers + Fauna
I may not yet have unpacked from yoga classes at the Wanderlust Festival (relax–thanks to striking Vacation Rental by Owner gold, they’re clean) but have now reviewed the images more times that I care to share. Highlights of the second year of the summer fest include fantastically-led outdoor classes under inflatable shapes, Ritual coffee available [...]
- Your Chance to Be Playa Famous >> WDYDWYD?
I’m regularly struck by San Franciscan Tony Deifell’s idea for a worldwide community art project intended to answer the question “why do you do what you do?” (and not just because he presented it at Ignite Bay Area but because it includes crowdsourced combinations of motivation, images and ideas). Through Monday, respondents can join the [...]
