Date Idea: Go see some Art..

Go to the movies or a play? Have a nice meal or just a beer at the pub? Go to a concert..? There are lot's of options. But when we finally have that babysitter lined up and time to go out, my husband and I have a hard time deciding and coming up with new ideas.

So here is my Date-idea: Go and see some Art!
Tim Metallo (a father at my daughters school) handed me an invite to an exhibition at the Richmond Art Center that features his work in an exhibition called "Geographic Premonitions".



This is from their website:

As the Richmond Art Center celebrates its 70th anniversary this
fall, a survey of emerging artists is appropriate given the Center's
longtime record as a leader in introducing the most promising
emerging artistic visions to the region. From mhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifore than 200
nominations, the Richmond Art Center's curatorial committee
carefully sifted through the field of artists over a period of months,
finally selecting just 15 to appear in Geographic Premonitions. The
Richmond Art Center is excited by the enthusiasm and high level
of expertise by the artists selected, many of whom are creating
new and site-specific pieces for this important exhibition.

The exhibition opens this Saturday, October 14th, with an artist reception from 4-8 pm.

Another great tip is the Oakland Artmurmer, which takes place every first Friday of the month, when Oakland galleries open their doors and show off the work of their artists. Read what they say on SF Gates culture blog.
