family friendly free for all ages
$2 ART SALE starts @12pm
FUN TALKS start @7pm featuring:
Chef Patti Searle is a professional chef, caterer, and owner of Thrivin' Edibles, a 100% vegan food enterprise. Raw vegan food is her passion, both as a creator and a consumer and she will be giving a talk called, "Super Foods? How about Foods that are Super?" She'll include hints on how to prepare these everyday GIANTS in the fruit and vegetable world. Arrive on time at Two Buck Tuesday as Patti will get the evening started at 7pm. Oh, and she is bringing samples of her world-famous HuuRaw chips! thrivinedibles.com
Gary Coleman, oil and pastel painter, will explore artistic priorities. LIKE: Does painting to sell have to mean selling out? If it does (just a little), does the artist hoard his/her own work? Is it selling out to paint for recognition and respect? Is fun more fun than suffering? Is it necessary to continue to "build a body of work", or is it OK to move on to something else when the body seems to be getting old? Gary will show some of his own work to illustrate his own decisions. He is over 70 years old, and so you should listen to and respect his wisdom. garycolemanartist.com
Lisa Fisher-Mejia has been performing bellydance in the Bay Area for the past 5 years. She has also performed in Seattle and Los Angeles. She sews a lot of her own costumes. She likes to experiment with a fusion of dance forms, including gothic, tribal, East Indian, and Burlesque. At KALEID, she'll be performing the standard Cabaret style bellydance taught to her by her Mother (who was a bellydancer in the 1970s). myspace.com/staribun

This edition of TWO BUCK TUESDAY is curated by Lacey Bryant.
January 19th 6-10 pm Free admission
Featuring our Quirky Speaker Series:
Drew Clark: A charismatic artist who will expound upon the finer points of dressing with panache and how it's totally worth the discomfort involved.
Brian Gundy: The owner of For Goodness Snakes will discuss how his passion for animals helped to build his business. Brian has been a local professional snake breeder for over 20 years. His love for people and education now finds him sharing his cold blooded friends at schools, birthday parties and company events.
Gary Parker: After over 40 years of experience, Gary will teach us the merit of being a stupid photographer-that is, not playing by the rules and still getting great shots!
Also Featuring:
A Grand and Unusual Puppet show by Dax Dax's show is original songs on accordion and wine glasses in an american folk style, paired with three short puppetry pieces that unfold from three plywood suitcases. The theme of the puppet shows is of making something out of nothing, and are on the more experimental side of the craft. He has been performing shows on the west coast since 2001 with Corpus Callosum. From 2007-2008 he performed puppetry with the renowned Chicago Blair Thomas & Co. Chamber Puppet Theater.
"As with his songs, there is no showmanship, legerdemain, pretense or fanfare in the presentation of this non-traditional puppetry. On stage, Dax has a deceptively casual manner - meanwhile, glowing stars pop out of suitcases of their own accord, and apparitions rise out of heaps of cardboard and collapse just as quickly. Nothing is hidden in the straight-forward construction of the puppets and apparatuses, and yet each piece unfolds a moment of magic that is as moving as it is direct. These shows cleverly present the fascination that has been lost to us since childhood, though you wouldn't imagine how simply it was achieved."
Blair Thomas - Artistic Director of Blair Thomas & Co. Chamber Puppet Theater, founder of Redmoon Theater, Chicago, IL.

Fragile Things by Lacey Bryant
Lacey has always been fascinated at how so many fragile things are able to exist in our chaotic, messy world. "Tiny, delicate things often seem to thrive in the most hostile environments. Fragility makes things precious to us, things are more beautiful because they will not last. So many things are fragile when you stop to think about it. Insect wings, shells, glass, children, hearts, dreams, the list is endless. On the surface, vulnerability seems to unite these things but the deeper thing that all of these fragile things have in common is a hidden strength. An egg shell is easily broken, but the shape of an egg is such that it can support a massive amount of weight for it's size and thickness, protecting it's delicate contents. An insect may be crushed without a thought but can easily survive a fall that would kill a human being, not to mention the strength of their numbers. Children are amazingly resilient and can survive the most horrible of circumstances. It is the balance between weak and strong and the often contradictory duality of things that interests me. "
Carnival of Lost Souls by Jen Renzel
Little sideshow oddities, dark dreams, and mystical beings. Broken dolls, old toys, antique hardware, collaged images, and imagination are the ingredients for these shadow boxes. "The broken down treasure at the bottom of a moldy box can be the cornerstone of a new creation. In fact, that's often how the idea for a piece starts -- with one broken doll, toy, or image that sparks the imagination. The rest is a continual trial and error process of finding which pieces fit together, then figuring out how to connect them, which can be challenging when working with oftentimes crumbling, frail and damaged materials and parts. Something tells me when a piece is finished. Some pieces come together quickly, and some take forever and are a struggle. In either case, I can lose hours and hours in the workshop, and the results sometimes surprise even me."

Anxiety new drawings by Julie Bilyeu
Julie’s love for art has helped her cope with a severe anxiety disorder. Drawing has become a necessity for her and she is currently inspired by these anxieties and panic attacks which manifests as dark and dramatic charcoal drawings of her experiences.
From the Rubble new paintings by Drew Clark
Drawings on cave walls and old temples have always depicted the end of the world and the collapse of civilization. The Modern Age is no different; visions of recession, biblical apocalypse, climate change and environmental destruction by industry. These new paintings explore the symbolism of the End Times.

89.7 FM KFJC 50th Anniversary Art Show: BLOWING MINDS SINCE 1959
A retrospective of the Art & Culture of KFJC including works from KFJC’s 50th Anniversary Art & Logo Contest and a Silent Auction of DJ art.
Since its inception KFJC has challenged the Bay Area’s radio waves. 2009 marks fifty years of operation for KFJC, and naturally we wanted to show our support to our listenership. Our volunteer staff pushed beyond its' alternative and eclectic programming by hosting a 50th Anniversary Art & Logo Contest this summer.
Every year we hand select different artists to create our Artist T Shirt and Girlie Shirt designs that become our gifts during our fundraiser season. The contest provided an opportunity to connect our listeners with another side of KFJC that they have become familiar with through their support. The contest was open to the public and included three submission categories: mixed media, artist t-shirt, & logo.
We are proud of all the submissions that arrived, many of which were from listeners online, including international submissions from Australia and New Zealand.
Our grand prize winners received cash prizes of $250 to First Place winner, Andrew Goldfarb, who contributed a colorful piece titled “Wave of the Future”
$150 awarded to Rosalind Schell won Second Place with her “Path Logo” pulling from the simple aesthetic that KFJC has used in it’s past logos.
And $100 to Third Place winner, Gordon De Los Santos for his work “KFJC T Shirt”
These winning art works will be exhibited along side past artist contributions. Previous KFJC themed works from Niagara, Sunny Buick, Arik Roper, Emek, Strk3, Mike King, Webster Colcord, Plastic Crimewave, Mike Zorn, Mike Davis, Frances Marin, Chris Reccardi, Robert Williams, and GAMA-GO! will be featured. KFJC DJs will be participating in a Silent Auction of unique works during the opening night to benefit KFJC.
Artists' Reception: First Friday September 4th, 7-9pm
(This event is part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS monthly art walk in downtown San Jose's SoFA District.)
