Artist Talks at the ArtFirst! Holiday Show

ArtFirst! Holiday Show artist talks by kayla garelick and Heidi Rand.

Come to our artists’ talks this week at the ArtFirst! Holiday Art Show. I introduced you to daydreaming artist kayla garelick in this post.  Many people wonder how kayla achieves such amazing abstract effects with her photographs.

Here's your chance to find out! kayla will present a one hour hands-on demonstration and talk on "Through a lens darkly; an artist's view of photography." Start times are 3 pm and 5 pm on both Wednesday & Thursday November 28 & 29. See through kayla's amazing lenses and into the depths of a tiny crystal. kayla writes: "Some spiritualists say you can see your soul when you gaze into the depths of a natural crystal! Perhaps you'll see your destiny, find your soulmate, or encounter past lives. Or perhaps not, but you will see the beginning of my creative process!"

On Friday November 30th from 4 pm to 5 pm, I'll speak about selling artwork and crafts online. I'll share tips and answer your questions about the various venues available to sell online, engaging in social media to promote your arts and crafts, and more.

And on Sunday December 2nd, starting at 1 pm and running throughout the day, you can watch my slideshow “Gardening For Wildlife”, which is a collection of my original nature photographs of local butterflies, birds and other wildlife, and gives examples of the different kinds of plants you can use to attract and nurture them.Join us at the Village Shops & Galleries, 10330 San Pablo Ave., El Cerrito, between Stockton and Eureka Streets. The ArtFirst! Holiday Show and Sale will run from Wednesday Nov. 28 through Sunday December 2nd, from noon to 6 pm. The Gallery is wheelchair accessible, and there is plenty of free parking. It is about a half mile from the El Cerrito Plaza BART station.

Even though schools will be on vacation sometime soon, there is a LOT of summer camp activity aroundRead More the community center, pool, and Cerrito Vista Park, and I think the EC Preschool Co-op also operates in the summer.

Yes I would love to take one off of your hands. Please email me at gretchen_davidson@yahoo.com toRead More discuss off board.

Gretchen, I have several different sizes of rakes. If you want to come see them, let me know throughRead More Patch. Elaine

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.
Bonnie MacKenzie May 11, 2013 at 11:55 am
Can you please be more specific about the nature of the problem for those of us who do not live inRead More the neighborhood?
John Stashik April 25, 2013 at 09:03 pm
Thanks for the press release, err... story. Now how about El Cerrito news? The Patch staff is lazy.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.
Dorothy Coakley March 27, 2013 at 04:31 pm
Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
