- SF Welcomes The[Un]Observed
I have found few online resources where it’s possible to find West African Afro beat, reflections on public transport miscommunications, and interviews with the Dame of Punk (she being designer Vivienne Westwood), and it’s not for lack of trying. As someone with undiagnosed ADHD and an affinity for the search bar, the locally based audio [...]
- !Women Art Revolution at Clips & Conversation
On Tuesday Bay Area Women in Film and Media and Intersection for the Arts will be partnering at the latter’s Valencia Street space to screen The Heretics and !Women Art Revolution as part of programming for the Clips & Conversation series. Both projects are in post-production and focus on the feminist art movement since the [...]
- Workshop Presents Non-Traditional Fundraisers
In case screen printing parties and Bloody Mary mastering sessions aren’t enough, local space Workshop is planning two very different events over the next two weeks that are well worth creative types’ time and good intentions. The first, “Taking the Emo out of Chemo” on Friday at Thee Parkside, is a non-traditional fundraiser to cover [...]
- Noise Pop Opens (Or, Why Not Start the Weekend Early?)
Despite traveling I’d be remiss not to mention the auditory enjoyment that Noise Pop fest is bringing San Franciscans through next Monday. And not just because it temporarily claims the stages of favorite haunts (Benders, Cafe du Nord and Rickshaw Stop among them) with shows by the likes of Zee Avi and Downtown Calling. Two [...]
- Design + Wine at SFMOMA this Summer
Art aficionados, SOMA residents and winos alike have reason to anticipate summer–usually not San Francisco’s strongest season, but made better with the promise of the launch of the SFMOMA exhibit “How Wine Became Modern” starting in July. The series on “Design + Wine 1976 to Now” will combine artifacts from global wine culture (including bottle [...]
- Garth Weiser Launch at Geary St. Gallery
Artist and texture specialist Garth Weiser will be having his West Coast debut tonight at Altman Siegel Gallery, and what he carefully portions in color he adds with modeling paste layering. I’ll stand back and let the work speak for itself in its large-scale material glory:
- Happy Birthday Mission Statement
An Ecofabulous creative director pal turned me onto 18th Street boutique The Mission Statement’s second birthday party this evening. The Creme Brulee Cart will be on hand along with consignment designer Metaphor Organic should you find yourself looking for a bit of soap-making along with your Charles Krug wine. The store features the wares of [...]
- Hello!Lucky for Love Hangovers
Two creative shops I’ve got my eye on in 2010, video house Lucky NY and local stationary creator Hello!Lucky, have a common fortune theme in their monikers. It’s reason enough for me, especially when both have inventive sets of business partners and the latter’s production facility is within walking distance of my junior one bedroom. [...]
- Pre-V Day Edition
I’ll keep the pink links to a minimum, but there are quite a few Valentine’s Week events in SF that deserve consideration. We can get the worst named out of the way first–that being “Singles & Sprinkles” at food community space 18 Reasons on Thursday. The Little Lane art studio will be helping with cookie [...]
- Blog It Forward Begins This Week
Work by ad art buyer-turned-creator Victoria Smith tends to be of the highest quality, and the “Blog It Forward” project starting on Wednesday will likely bring the same attention to detail as her SFGirlByBay site and adoration as her “Keep Calm and Carry On” prints. Through the end of March, personal inspiration posts by design [...]
