People often ask us, “what should I go see/do/check out this month?” So we decided to create a monthly “To Do List” with a few select art exhibits or events happening in the Bay Area. Don’t worry, we won’t overwhelm you, but if you find yourself with some free time, check these things out!
November 3 – November 6, 2990 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley: “Kalassal” Art Sale at the Kala Art Institute & Gallery. Half-off art by past and present artists affiliated with Kala. A great opportunity to get original artwork for low prices while supporting an important Berkeley art organization.
