Upcoming Events!

Hi there. There are lots of fun things for crafters and craft lovers to do this weekend.

ART SHOWS

Have you checked out the Royal Nonesuch Gallery yet? It's been on my list for quite a while, there is a great excuse to go now.

21 Projects x 21 Days x 21 Hours is a show where each day another art "happening" will take place. All the projects are interactive, and look super fun. Here's the line up for the weekend:Friday, April 8, 7:30-8:30pm

Friday, April 8, 7:30-8:30pm

Sad Vicious with Scott Vermiere and Steuart Pittman
Don't miss live drawing and/or painting by local rock band Sad Vicious!!! Sad Vicious will either draw side by side as a sort of "live drawing meets rock band meet and greet" or exhibit a new form of performance never done before in which Sad Vicious plays rock guitar music and paint splatters the images of artistic, social, and political icons on a wall!!!

Saturday, April 9, 3:00-4:00pm
Phobianimation with Samara Halperin
Participants will make flip books of their phobias... from eggs to spiders to bridges. This will be a fun way for people to share their phobias and make something good come out of them.

Saturday, April 9, 5:30-6:30pm
The Fictitious Art History Lecture Series with Seth Murchison
Select participants will choose from a group of slides from the UC Berkeley Art History department's glass slide collection, now property of Seth Murchison, and spend some time composing and delivering a lecture or fictional narrative based on the slides the come up.

Sunday, April 10, 1:00-2:00pm
Make Your Own Paint with Judi Pettite
Learn how to make your own paint using earth, plant pigments, and/or dye. Judi Pettite will then lead a discussion of the historical context of pigments as art medium.

The address is 4231 Telegraph Ave. Oakland, CA 94608

The 21 days will be up on April 17, 2011. Check the schedule here.

ANARCHIST BOOK FAIR (It's an Art Show, too!)

Another ART SHOW!

It's the last weekend to see Mayumi Hamanaka's art show at Swarm Gallery in Jack London Square, in Oakland.

Swarm is a really sweet gallery space, and Hamanaka's art is just plain inspiring.
