Memorial Day Weekend!

Check out some Photographic Art at Photo!

This weekend, you *should* have planned yourself a little trip out of town. But, you are on a budget, here in the East Bay, looking for some arts and inspiration.

It's preview for Open Studios at Pro-Arts Gallery in Oakland. More details on what that is all about, here.

Here's something to do, totally free. Cruise Oakland and see some murals. They are all over, you just need to adjust your eyes to them. To help you tune in, check out Endless Canvas online. You will recognize some Berkeley and Oakland streets, for sure.

If you are like me, you know people who spent some time in Antarctica. Apparently, it exists, and is a place for bizarre celebrations. Royal Nonesuch is showing some Antarctica art. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Don't forget what the holiday is all about, either. I am against war, but I am not against warriors.
