Anthony Ant spent his adult life bringing the Bay Area music scene together. On Thursday night, the scene convened at the Starry Plough in South Berkeley to dance, shout, jam and remember the powerful trumpeter.

Mainstream media loves doom, despair, and a sensational headline. But hopelessness is their tool, not ours. Meet COYOTE's First Aid Kit, our service journalism series where we'll pursue intersectional, evidence-based, and sometimes light-hearted solutions to the challenges of living in the Bay Area.

Alan traces the evolution of Bay Area airbrushing through three generations of artists: from a decades-long flea market vendor to Deandre "Airballin" Drake, painter of Formula 1 cars and Playboy bunnies. www.coyotemedia.org/spray-area-t...

“Spray Area”: The Evolution of Airbrushing in the Bay

Airbrushing once offered local artists a full-time income; nowadays, it’s mostly a creative side hustle that recalls a nostalgic past. Here’s what the remaining artists have to say about it.

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

TAG YOURSELF which Coyote are you? And while you're at it, join us at @coyotemedia.org and support our new org. The rewards are fun, and if you get a nature walk I might teach you about seaweed foraging or lichen identification! Right now I'm 3 but in photos I'm always somehow 1.

NPR makes YouTube playlists of all concerts for each year and separate playlists with themes like Hip Hop and Women. Maybe you can take the ones from each year and make a master list on YouTube.
