too many examples of the city failing to protect artwork (art spaces, art schools, artists)

I got morbidly curious about art organizations who won (?) NEA funding this year. pretty sure Children's Fairyland is the only Oakland org - and the money is for a puppet show adapted by the Sogorea Te' Land Trust (!)

Oakland Children's Fairyland Inc.

Purpose: To support the production of a new puppet show for young audiences, adapted by Lisjan tribal members from the Sogorea Te' Land Trust and the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation. Additional Project Description: In this adaptation of a Native American creation story, a long time ago fire was stolen and all the animals gathered to devise a solution. Initially dismissed by larger animals, the hummingbird persevered and found a way to bring the fire back. Exploring themes of bravery, tenacity, and intelligence, the work will be performed at the Open Storybook Puppet Theater for young audiences. Intended Beneficiaries: The project will serve theater artists, youth, and audiences in Oakland, California. Intended Outcomes: Beneficiaries access arts activities and programming.

true of any good artist I guess but you get up close to his paintings and you’re like “this is insane”

I wish Ocean Vuong's first books of poetry, published by small presses, got mentioned more. No (YesYes Books) and Burnings (Sibling Rivalry Press)

all the bathers, all together, at Bathers Library in Oakland. thanks to @amyberko.bsky.social & @stevestevie.bsky.social for reading, for the night

A white-walled bookshop, full bookshelves along one wall and neat odds and ends like a sign that says FORCEFIELD. Rows, backs of heads, of audience in chairs. Liam at mic lit by a warm lamp, holding paper and lifting one hand up.
