I don't know where to start....

Lisa and I have already received a great many interested Bay Area artists willing to share their art, experiences and opinions with us via blog writing and/or video interviews. I cannot wait to see what all the Bay Area artists have to say.

I'm using this month as an excuse to get out there. By "there" I mean art galleries, museums, anything and everything art. I want to see it all. I can't believe I have lived here for 5 years and have yet to visit all of the museums! That won't be the case after a few free visits during the next couple of months. I hope to get them all covered and share my experiences with you all!

The first stop I plan to make is the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco this Thursday night. It's only 5 bucks to get in after 5pm.

I'm really interested in seeing the Lords of the Samurai exhibition. Having never been to the museum (I know, sad, isn't it?) I would just like to scope the whole thing out. I hear good things.

I'm feeling the same excited energy as Lisa. I want to dive deep into the art world again. I feel that there need to be some changes, but don't feel I can make them without being an active member of the community once again.

I will keep you all updated on my adventures.

Have any suggestions for us? I've already been told by a number of people to see the Control show at SOMArts Cultural Center. (It CLOSES on the 27th!)

The synopsis is:
Artwork organized around the theme of control-or lack of it, exploring the artists interpretation of all methods of control: internal, external, positive, negative, over life events & technology, empowering or dehumanizing, political correct or not.




Lisa has seen it and is going to give us her thoughts soon (I hope!).

Alright, happy art viewing and making!
