The 10th Annual Temescal Street Fair Sunday, July 7th, 2013, Noon to 6pm What started in 2004 as a little street fest sponsored by a small group of local merchants has blossomed into one of Oakland's premier cultural events. In 2005, the Telegraph Temescal Business Improvement District (TTBID) took over the fair's sponsorship and, since then, the event's growth has been exponential. 2012 boasted four stages (the Main stage, Kid's stage and two Jazz stages) and three additional blocks of vendors, offering even more opportunities to promote local artists, craftspeople and creative dare-to-doers, representing the area's rich tapestry of creativity and culture. The TTBID is a certified green organization and the Street Fair is a green event! We will be highlighting selected “green businesses” and a few environmental non-profits for our “green zone.” For non-profit booths, contact Karen Hester at:

Transform Your Life with the Power of Self Love
from Sunday, February 19 11:00PM -
Sunday, February 19 1:00AM
Transform Your Life with the Power of Self Love Mike's workshop explores why it can be hard for us to love ourselves in a genuine way ? the familial, cultural, religious, and personal influences, thoughts, and fears that lead us to believe that who we are is not good enough, that self love is somehow arrogant or narcissistic, and the personal challenges many of us have with actually practicing loving kindness towards ourselves (even though we ?know? that we ?should?). Bestselling author, speaker, and seminar leader Mike Robbins then presents simple yet effective ways to exercise the spiritual power of self love in a way that profoundly and positively impacts our relationships, our work, our spiritual practice, our life, and how we relate to ourselves. The ideas, principles, and exercises laid out in this program give you specific techniques which allow you to: · Make peace with and forgive yourself · Accept and appreciate all of who you are · Learn specific ways to care for and love yourself in an authentic way · Deepen your capacity to love others · Manifest magical success and fulfillment with ease $20 suggested love offering ?Mike Robbins provides a clear guide for intelligently and compassionately coming face-to-face with yourself and loving the person you meet. He teaches us how to embrace and celebrate all aspects of who we are and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human incarnation.? ?

For information call Amar Casey at (510) 689-8094 "Based on a true story. In 1957 a rag-tag, shoeless, poor group of kids from Monterrey, Mexico shocked the world by winning 13 games in a row and the Little League World Series in the only perfect game ever pitched in the Championship. These kids, led by their priest and a down-and-out former major leaguer embark on a journey through the southern US and up into Williamsport, PA for the Championship game. They encountered many adversities including nearly being deported and the bigotry that wouldn't allow them into certain restaurants or travel on certain buses." from IMDb website

He is best known for his paintings and prints of urban landscapes that seem to inhabit the worlds of both representation and abstraction simultaneously. His artwork focuses on the underlying geometric abstraction of the architecture and design found in the urban landscape, as well as the curious effect that time and chaos has on that geometric order as it moves towards disorder and entropy. Kimball lives and works in his painting studio in the South of Market area (SOMA) of San Francisco.

A Gospel According to Matthew: LGBTQ History in Watercolor

Friday, November 2 9:00PM
Join Show & Tell Friday November 2, 2012 from 6-9pm for the opening receiption of A Gospel According to Matthew: LGBTQ History in Watercolor by San Francisco artist, Matthew R. Burns. At 8pm an informal artist-led talk will commence with the awarding of two commemorative exhibit books. As Burns describes his series, ?These paintings were born from a desire on my part to use color and figures to create an emotional exchange. We know AIDS is a pandemic and we know that hate crimes and gay marriage infiltrate our current media and consciousness, but we start seeing people as statistics and referendums. I want to take the viewer back to seeing people as human. If anything this series connects humanity with shared biographies. None of us are unchallenged, but we seem to find it necessary to remove ourselves from others place in history. This series is equally about you and me, regardless of whom we may share our sanctuary or sleep.? Matthew R. Burns resides in San Francisco and received his MFA from the Academy Art University, San Francisco in 2012. As Show & Tell approaches its one-year anniversary it continues to showcase local designers, cause driven brands, and provide a safe gathering space for the Oakland community. This event is free and open to the public.

ALL OUT 2012

Workshops Events Buzz Here?s What to Expect at ICA?s ALL OUT 2012 Event On Nov. 8th All Out 2012 is a networking event, but not the kind where we pat each other on the back and clink wine glasses. There will be no panels and no speakers, just meaningful interactions designed to build a stronger ecosystem of support around locally owned small business owners and entrepreneurs. Think of it like a ?hack-a-thon? to address community-level economics. We used to call this event ICA?s Annual Business Reception, but we renamed it and innovated the concept to capture the spirit of how we approach this work and reflect the economic imperative of the moment. ICA is a nonprofit organization and a donation will grant your entry into the event. Make your donation today using the button below. SCROLL DOWN FOR ALL EVENT DETAILS WE?RE GOING ALL OUT TO GROW LOCALLY OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES AND CREATE 25,000 GOOD JOBS On Thursday, November 8th at 6pm, ICA?s All Out 2012 event will convene 1000 of the Bay Area?s brightest entrepreneurial, philanthropic and community-driven minds at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco to accelerate the growth of more locally owned small businesses.

Occupy: The Plein Air Story
from Friday, November 2 10:00AM -
Saturday, December 1 5:00PM
November 2 - Dec 1st, 2012 Opening Reception: First Friday, November 2nd, 6-9pm Poetry from the OccupyAnthology.org: Saturday, November 3rd, 3-5pm Panel Discussion: November 24th Anthony Holdsworth, Jessica Jirsa and John Paul Marcelo with guest artists, Tomye and Rick Rocamora Joyce Gordon Gallery presents ?Occupy: The Plein Air Story?, an exhibition marking the anniversary and historical events of the Occupy Movement from the perspective of three Bay Area plein air painters. More than two years ago, movements around the world challenging the economic inequalities of a ?Pareto Principle? like system resulted in what we now call the Occupy Movement. As major movements emerged in San Francisco and Oakland, Ca., three plein air painters entered the scene to bear witness to these local movements with a synoptic view on canvas; an organic step away from the commonly respected graphic design posters and photographs that normally offer a visual account of social and political struggles. Their painted stories reflect an onerous and yet more intimate viewpoint from which to understand the voices of the encamped movement. They gained notable press recognition for their Jim Pollock (Vietnam War Combat Artist) approach to recording history.

Opening Reception: First Friday, January 4, 6-9pm Artist Talk: First Friday, January 4th 7-8pm Lisa Alonzo Jonathan Blair James Gayles Ruth Tabancay Joyce Gordon Gallery presents "The Dichotomy of Art", an attempt to examine the interdisciplinary practices among artists, not just of their interchangeable artistic media but also the cross sections of their careers. In 1976, an art program at Columbia College of Chicago was created to examine and explore the interdisciplinary use of techniques from across the fine, performing and multimedia arts. This diverse media approach previously existed as pedagogies of multi-academia challenged each perpetual field of study, usually for the purpose of reaching a mutual task. This later became a method for art students to expand their use of diverse techniques that explore and push the boundaries for new future terrains of art. "The Dichotomy of Art" pushes these boundaries even further by examining the artwork of four predominantly Bay Area artists whose interdisciplinary practice involve tools commonly used by professionals in the white and blue-collar sector of society that consist of commercial graphics, culinary arts and microbiology.

Cohouseholding Potluck: A new Model for Shared Households
from Monday, January 14 12:15PM -
Monday, January 14 3:15PM
Sharing a House/Apartment? Love it or Hate it, it's a reality for many Berkeley/Oakland residents, and thousands more in the greater East Bay. Come learn and share about Cohouseholding - an emerging model to help more people thrive in shared households. Unlike the Cohousing model (multiple private homes sharing common facilities), Cohouseholding focuses on unrelated adults who share a single dwelling - creating shared households. The Cohouseholding Project collaborators want your input to help develop this model. We're joined by project instigator, Oz Ragland, a long-time member of Songaia Cohousing (near Seattle) and the former Executive Director of the national Cohousing Association (Coho/US). In 2010, Oz and his wife sold their Cohousing home to join four other Songaia members to co-purchase a large house next to Songaia to use as a shared household. This project is integrating hard-won knowledge from co-op houses,collectives, cohousing, and other intentional communities. Its is also drawing insights from organized home share programs and many related experts, including attorneys, architects, planners, economists, process facilitators, and community activists. Project goals are to define, support, and promote an optimized model that helps people create and sustain more successful shared households that better serve the needs of a broader range of people... young and old, rich and poor, etc. RSVP via East Bay Cohousing: http://www.ebcoho.org/events/99141632/

Inspired by the natural environment, Mayhew uses color, space, and form to express what he has called "a universal space with the illusion of time." Mayhew told American Visions writer Lizzetta LeFalle-Collins that "My art is based on a feeling of music and mood and sensitivity and the audio responses of sound and space. I want the essence of the inner soul to be on the canvas." Diverging from these landscapes to introduce a collection of brilliantly rendered drawings and sketches titled "Sketchbook", Mayhew made this first ever debut of work four months at Evolve the Gallery in Sacramento, CA. This exhibit now makes its way to Oakland at the Joyce Gordon Gallery, which provides an incredible opportunity to not only view Mr. Mayhew's newly created drawings and sketches, but also engage him in a personal dialogue about his work. www.joycegordongallery.com

Richard Mayhew: Sketchbook Closing Reception and Lecture
from Saturday, February 23 3:00PM -
Saturday, February 23 5:00PM
Join us for a special presentation in celebration of Black History month and closing reception for Richard Mayhew. Richard Mayhew will present a lecture series on the Spiral Group and a slide presentation on the works of Romare Bearden at Joyce Gordon Gallery . Diverging from his landscapes to introduce a collection of brilliantly rendered drawings and sketches titled "Sketchbook", Mayhew made this first ever debut of work four months at Evolve the Gallery in Sacramento, CA. This exhibit has made its way to Oakland at the Joyce Gordon Gallery, which provides an incredible opportunity to not only view Mr. Mayhew?s newly created drawings and sketches, but also engage him in a personal dialogue about his work. About the Spiral Group: Spiral was a collective of African-American artists with founding members, Romare Bearden, Richard Mayhew, Charles Alston, and more on July 5, 1963. It has since become the name of an exhibition, Spiral: Perspectives on an African-American Art Collective. The Spiral group was relatively ignored in much traditional art history since its demise. But interest in the group was rekindled by a group exhibition of the collective in Birmingham and New York in 2010-2011, and the associated catalogs. The exhibition looks at the way the Spiral collective came into its own during a period of American history full of unrest, and the varied visual responses of African-American artists. www.joycegordongallery.com

Dinnertime: new works by Janet Barnes
from Friday, March 1 6:00PM -
Saturday, March 23 8:00PM
Join us next Friday, March 1st from 6-9pm for the opening reception of Dinnertime featuring new works by Janet Barnes exploring the impact that dinnnertime has on relationships in families and the role it plays at common culture we all share in this society. It is an honor to have her as a featured artist along with more women artist in March and to celebrate the gallery's 10th anniversary with this returning artist. Janet will give a discussion of her work (reminiscing the beautiful style of Jacob Lawrence) from 7-8pm. Dinnertime Series (1990-2013) There are three main reasons why my " Dinnertime Series " is my favorite collection of artwork. First of all it is positive and inspiring. Just think about all the childhood or family memories that come from your dinning room table. I take these memories and place them with a visual passion. Brilliant colors from smooth pastels mixed with acrylic paint added just where I believe it is needed. All comes together as reason number two. The third reason this series is so special is because the passion overwhelms me as I'm creating each one. I love my music blasting as my fingernail scratches in the last details that are drawn in the likeness of a chair, which I have sat in at Dinnertime with my family or friends. Everything about this series equals the goodness of people, the power of a families love. The value that is priceless, Dinnertime.

The class will look at the benefits of and techniques for a set of particularly nutrient-dense food preparation methods, focusing on foods that are appropriate for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike: yogurt and yogurt cheese sauerkraut sourdough starter and sourdough bread The class includes guidance on preparing a mineral-rich bone broth; vegetarian options are available Traditionally prepared foods can be deeply nourishing, and there is a resurging interest in slow food and traditions such as fermentation.

East Bay Cohousing Supporting Members Brian and Julia are forming a five-unit (plus adjacent units in apartments) cohousing-ish cluster and they would love to share the vision with you, show you around, and get your input on the possibilities. A second adjacent building will be open this weekend only for a sneak peek for EBCOHO members interested in collaborating on building community. EBCOHO's Cohousing Coach Raines Cohen facilitated an initial conversation about community last month. Here's what our hosts say about their new home and the potential around it: This is in the *gorgeous* Adams Point neighborhood near Lake Merritt and the Grand Lake farmer's market. We'll have a quick tour Saturday at 10:30a, then brunch at 11a while we stew on the vision together, and then do another tour around 12:30.

With a purchaser for this house next door, we'll have 5 units.

Tiny House Villages: From Cohousing Vision to Reality
from Wednesday, April 17 7:45PM -
Wednesday, April 17 10:00PM
Would you live in a Tiny House Village - a cluster of cottages with a large community common house? Would you believe it could be built and make housing affordable in the urban East Bay and San Francisco? Would you like to meet someone who has a vision and design for how it can be done, and is recruiting investors and future residents to collaborate on designing these new neighborhoods? Our friend Rabbit (a Berkeley Student Coop Lothlorien alumni who is part of the SpaghettiNight dinner series hosted by cooperative houses in rotation) put forward an idea for such a community on the series' email list, and budding architect/designer Alfred Twu of FirstCultural created some renderings and ran the numbers for how it could be done. We're excited but not convinced that it really is feasible - let's crowdsource our reality-checking and bring our collective wisdom and experience to bear. Come see the vision and hear Alfred present the concept, and places it could be done, based on finding currently-vacant lots in Berkeley, Oakland, and even San Francisco. Join us to discuss what the dynamics of what such a place could be: * Would it work if each house didn't have its own bathroom facilities? * How about kitchens? * Would neighbors allow it? * Would cities approve it? * Would it serve people at different stages of life? RSVP via East Bay Cohousing and come be part of the conversation.

Within Reach: Sustainable Community movie in Marin Friday
from Friday, April 26 7:00PM -
Friday, April 26 10:00PM
If you're 100% sure you've got all you want right now...don't watch it!" - Bill McKibben, founder 350.org WITHIN REACH explores one couple's pedal-powered search for a place to call home. Mandy and Ryan gave up their jobs, cars and traditional houses to "bikepack" 6,500 miles for nearly 2 years around the USA seeking sustainable community. Rather than looking in a traditional neighborhood, they begin to recognize that community is the secret ingredient to living sustainably on this planet. Along the way, they explored 100 Ecovillages, Cohousing Communities, Co-op Houses, Communes, Transition Towns and their own principles and commitment. In the end they return to the timeless truth that community is people; they are everywhere; and there is room for everyone. Join filmmaker Mandy Creighton and Associate Producer/Cohousing Coach Betsy Morris of East Bay Cohousing and the film's fiscal sponsor Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC) for discussion afterwards, at the Venture Greenhouse in San Rafael. Both their journey and their ?lm have answered the question that they and many others are asking: How can we pass along a lush, beautiful, sustainable world to future generations? After circling the country and interviewing hundreds of Americans, they have found that by reaching within, sustainable community is Within Reach.

from Sunday, May 12 1:00PM -
Sunday, May 12 4:00PM
East Bay Cohousing members are asking: Do you have trouble letting in the good that is around you? When someone says something nice to you, do you uncontrollably and immediately go to standard cultural programming -- "Deny, Minimize and Deflect" -- even when there's no need for it, it ends up invalidating your friend's experience, makes community building that much harder, and in point of fact serves no one? Is your "nutrition barrier" so hyper-active that it prevents you from letting in and metabolizing the very things that what you want and need most? yet you seemingly can't help yourself? These classes on "The Art of Appreciating ~ The Courage to Receive" may be useful for you and helpful in your path to seeking and living in cooperative community. Instructor Paul Hoffman is traveling around the Bay Area, doing these mostly in people's homes, that we might become more aware of this poverty-conscious programming remnant left over in our collective psyche, and what we can do about it. Come join small groups of intrepid explorers, exploring and working on dismantling this bug in our collective software. Classes run 2.5 - 3 hours. By the end each person should come away with some practical tools to lessen this problem in our lives. The cost of the class is "dana", love offering, sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds. Refreshments included. No upper limit on amount of acceptable donation. Thanks for your support. Location is wheelchair accessible

(Co) Housing Legal Cafe Night with Janelle Orsi of SELC
from Wednesday, May 15 4:30PM -
Wednesday, May 15 7:30PM
East Bay Cohousing member Janelle Orsi, lawyer, author, director of the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC) wrote us last month about SELC's new "Resilient Communities Legal Cafe" which is happening weekly in Berkeley or Oakland through August. "One idea we've contemplated is creating themed cafes some nights and trying to attract a group of clients who share common interests, and having a group discussion and Legal Q&A. We could potentially choose an evening where I spend at least 90 minutes of the cafe in a circle with cohousing/shared housing clients answering their legal questions and facilitating a discussion." Janelle is one of a handful of attorneys specializing in law for a sharing economy - including cooperative housing and shared ownership law. A number forming groups in and out of EBCOHO have worked with her. The Cafe series is a joint effort of SELC and the Green-Collar Communities Clinic (a project of East Bay Community Law Center). Come, ask us your questions, and join others from your neighborhood who are taking their livelihoods, communities, and economies back! SELC believes that because our current economic systems prioritize corporate profits over community resilience, they destroy opportunities for satisfying and sustainable work, damage the environment that sustains us, and unravel our sense of connection to one another. That's why SELC is committed to providing reliable, affordable, and accessible legal information & advice... RSVP via EBCOHO.

from Sunday, May 12 4:30PM -
Sunday, May 12 6:30PM
You may have met Yehudit as leader of the monthly Pleasant Hill Cohousing tours listed through She's also a fabulous professional violinist --- classical, orchestral, and swing jazz! Yehudit is leading her own performance jam and birthday bash with friends at the Berkeley Jazz School in downtown Berkeley, this afternoon. Jazz violinist Yehudit (at right) (pronounced "yeah who DEET") has made a place for herself in the forefront of the jazz mainstream, demonstrating that the electric violin, in her hands, is a convincing and innovative jazz instrument. She has headlined at Yoshi's (Oakland), Lunaria (Los Angeles), La Ve Lee (Studio City), Linnaea's Cafe (San Luis Obispo), the Dean Lesher Center for the Arts (Walnut Creek), the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival (San Francisco), the Union Street Art Fair (San Francisco), and other venues in the Bay Area and California. The artists she has appeared with include John Handy, Dan Hicks, Walter Savage, Denise Perrier, and Jules Broussard. In May of 2007, Yehudit resigned her long-time position with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra in order to devote her full energies to jazz performance and composition. "Yehudit," her debut album, was released in 1997. Her second CD, "Valentine," featuring jazz treatments of classic love songs, was released in 2001; her third solo album, "In the Zone," was released in 2008. All are available through Edgetone Records.
