FIRST BIRTHDAY ADELINE ART STUDIOS + SHOW & SELL MARKET

Celebrating our first year after opening the Firehouse Adeline Art studios which include half a dozen private art studios, two micro store fronts: Alchemy Cafe and Vintage & Tarot boutique, rehearsal and recording studio for 4 awesome local bands, a black box theater in planning stages and the wonderful weekly Show & Sell Spot we also call the Buzzar, a place for local artists and makers to bring their goods to the community.

As the entire Lorin district and beyond, celebrates the annual JUNETEENTH festival, we open our doors to participate with what we do best: offer spaces for artists of all disciplines to co create currency and culture one event at the time.

Jessie Brown of CK Smokehouse, his wife Mo and family friends, fed everyone with his famous ribs and the best smiles for miles.
A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY indeed!
We hope you enjoy the photos and come visit us.
Open every Saturday noon to six pm, as well as hosting all kinds of live events you can find on our CALENDAR.
3192 Adeline street corner of Fairview two blocks south from Ashby Bart, Berkeley CA 94703.

Many many thanks to everyone who continues to show up to make this place the coolest gig in town.

JUNE 2012 SHOW AT GALLERY NORTH

OPENED second Friday with local and out of town friends.

"FORREALISMN" a local group of artists we met last year at the November art murmur in Oakland is exhibiting a very cool collection of paintings and 3D wall sculptures.

Joaquin A Newman pulled the group together and curated what we think is a truly awesome show.

Here are some visuals, the gallery is open on Saturdays from 5 to 9pm and you can always email us: firehouse.art.collective @ gmail.com or call Julia at 510 593 0733 to make an appointment to see the exhibit and purchase any of the art.

ART FOR SCHOOLS FUNDRAISER IN PIEDMONT

Firehouse Art Collective directors Tom Franco and Julia Lazar were invited to collaborate. With onsite live painting projects to be auctioned off live.
Silent auction goes on of super cool creative birdhouses and other intriguing tidbits goes on while champagne and wine flows and the locals mingle.

The irrepressible and dynamic Karen Stanton generates the annual "Birdhouse Auction Gala" hosted by Piedmont residents and parents in their upscale, short of posh estates, and is crazy successful pulling the right peeps together in support of Art in public schools of the district.

This year she got Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day to donate a signed guitar and other rock'n'roll paraphernalia, where half of the proceeds went to Billie Joe's old high school  in the Rodeo district in Oakland.
Cool we say!

Was an awesome day and people donated great funds for the arts to continue in public high schools these parts of town. Thanks Karen!!! really.
Special thanks to our friend Andre Salcido, a pro auctioneer in Alameda, for coming out to help.
