We're Hanging Jimmy's Show Today
On the Bench
FOG's First Year
Stars of the Universe by Anne Herbst
I am filled with great appreciation and gratitude for this amazing first year at Far Out Gallery. From the very beginning, artists and art lovers came streaming through our big red door. We made great friends with all our fellow merchants here on Taraval Street. We have a wonderful lineup of extraordinary artists waiting to dazzle you in 2017. For you coffee lovers, soon we will be welcoming the opening of Andytown's coffee roastery two doors to the west. Stop in on New Years eve and help us celebrate FOG. –Peter
Christmas Day at FOG
This bouquet wrapped with the note was left on the FOG window sill on Christmas Day. There was no name. Thank you, whoever you are, for the lovely surprise!
Here Comes the Sun
Our Winter Solstice Celebration was a smash. Wendy Loomis played the keyboard and hang. (That's the silver instrument below). Peter and Jeannie gave us Here Comes the Sun. We were glad to meet one another, drink wine, and have plum pudding.
Our red door remained open to all who wandered by.
And in the back room wine flies out of the fridge.
You're Invited to our Winter Solstice Celebration
Anne and I would love to welcome you to our second annual Winter Solstice celebration at FOG. Drop by and check out Bill, Dottie, and Anne's art, have a snack and a nice beverage, and let's welcome the return of our sun. From 4 to 6 we'll be grooving to music - Jeanie and I will do a folk set, and our neighbor Wendy Loomis will bring her keyboard and drums and will present a wonderful program. –Peter
Do I smell coffee roasting?
Things are really happening at Andytown's newest outpost just two doors down from FOG. Adam and Jason are putting the finishing touches on the interior – and these roasters will soon be in operation supplying Taraval with fabulous coffee. We can't wait to welcome them to our neighborhood.
-Peter
Conversation with Artist Richard Kamler
As always, new friends are made.
A lively, soul-searching dialogue with artist Richard Kamler about the necessary role of art in today's current political/social/cultural environment. Followed by pizza.
Glad Tidings
The 2017 Tidelogs have arrived. On Thursday we will be selling them for $16.00. Come on by and get one – and maybe another for a surfing friend. Then stick around for the singing session beginning around 5:00. -Cheers, Peter
House and Garden Opening Celebration
William Aiken in front of his houses
And glorious Dottie Weintraub among her gardens
My Best To You from Peter to all of us! ...You can catch Peter playing, singing, leading us in song every Thursday from 5-6 at FOG.
Spirits soared and red dots flew. Fun, food, fizzy, flowers!
Happy New Year Already
We're excited to announce 10 new oversize postcard designs in stock – many perfect for the holidays.
The changing of the walls
Dottie's flower paintings
Bill's new work
Dottie's flower paintings have been dropped off and Bill has just delivered his work. It is always exciting to usher in a new show, and this one sparkles. Don't miss the opening on Saturday (12-6 pm) ... and drop by today for our singing FOG family singalong. -Peter
A VISIT FROM Shanta.
Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff, that is! She swept in and signed her books "The Ethnic Vegetarian Kitchen,” “Flavors of India” and her latest, “Other Avenues Are Possible.” Besides books, she brought Chai tea and baskets full of treats to share. Is there anything better than drinking Chai while surrounded by off the grid art?
Thursday Sing-Along
This Thursday November 17 marks the start of FOG's weekly singing event. We will have a group sing-along from 5 to 6 every Thursday - including Thanksgiving. I will start warming up around 4:30 (for any really eager beavers). We welcome all your voices. –Peter
Opening Reception: Reality and Dream
Paintings by Mamade Kadreebux
A detail (Anne Herbst)
Mamade talks about life and art.
Anne offers some deep (and sometimes funny) insight into her paintings.
Peter leads us in a song by Woody Guthrie: This land is your land, This land is my land...
This Opening Celebration was so good for the soul. Basking in the light of brilliant art we welcomed one another, we ate and drank wine with one another, we listened to one another, we sang with one another. There was laughter and there were tears.
