Whoa Baby!
First off: check back here in a few days for Six Women and an Idea. Yes, I'm involved and I'm also in production with the students at the San Francisco School of the Arts. Hello. Kids First, People.
Second off: Agenda Building. In a world gone mad (you know the kind, where you are the 6th largest economy in the world and ranking dead last in per capita arts funding), what the helly hell hell would you want your local arts commission to do? Tell me.
Third off: Socializing at Cafe Van Kleef. I caught a nearby neighborhood gallery owner explaining Van Kleef's as a space that has been there for thirty years with its proprietor and his predilictions, but only recently opened its doors to the public. Most times it seems that everyone inside is having a good time, in that Caligula kinda way. As a first step to making the Commission accessible to Oakland's arts community, we may have already sprained something.
Nothing that can't be cured by a restorative at Mama Buzz, of course.
