UNDERWATER CREATURES (ART SHOW) SEPT 18TH BERKELEY

Chris Granillo's Underwater Creatures


Our next exhibit begins on September 18th. Chris's work might be whimsically described as "Jacque Cousteau meets Salvador Dali"- this incredibly imaginative and technically accomplished work is a refreshing change for the gallery and we think Chris is headed toward great things. Here's a chance for a small gallery and amateur collectors to appreciate his works before they get snatched up by the big collectors. In addition to Chris's paintings we'll also display a sculpture installation by Luis Noe. Please join us for a reception for the exhibit on Saturday September 18th from 7 o'clock to 9. The exhibition will end on November 12th so if you can't make the reception come by and see us before it's too late.........SEPT 18TH 2010 7PM-9PMNIELSON ARTS 1537 Solano Ave, Berkeley, CA

36th Annual Solano Stroll "A Global A-Faire Berkeley,CA

36th Annual Solano Stroll "A Global A-Faire"

26 blocks of free fun!
Since 1974, The Merchants, Restaurants, and Professionals, as well as the twin cities of Albany and Berkeley CA, have hosted the Solano Avenue Stroll, the East Bay’s largest street festival! The Solano Avenue Merchants Association invites you to come and see what makes Solano Avenue such a wonderful place.
Over five hundred vendors, non-profit organizations, food booths and entertainers
Participants and the event guests visit from everywhere throughout California; as well as neighboring states from Nevada to Maine.
The fun begins at 10 am with the opening of Solano Avenue businesses and Stroll booths and the kick-off is the theme parade with about 100 groups.
After the parade, you can visit one of 75 entertainers, 50 food booths, 150 juried arts and crafters, games, wacky art cars, and almost 200 community non-profit and government organizations, not to mention the unique and popular professional services, restaurants, and shops already here on Solano Avenue.
You will hear the best in local music, dance and other performances and absolutely stunning costumes from all over the globe!
This is a family event! We feature a special area set aside just for kids that offer giant slides, carnival games, clowns, jugglers, stilt walkers, face painters, magicians, and maybe even wizards and elves -- come and see for yourselves...
Stop by the "Green Zone" on the east end of Solano Avenue where you can find tips about simple changes you can make at your home or business to reduce global warming, displays of green technology -- such as solar panels, tank-less water heaters and current composting techniques, and environmental experts ready to answer your questions about what you can do to check climate change.
Come join us for an afternoon in the sun, brought to you by the Cities of Albany and Berkeley; and with the help of our generous sponsors, SAA members, and volunteer board of directors
