The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works New Exhibit

The Experience:

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future

“Views of Democracy is the culmination of more than a year of work to identify and curate a visual art exhibition that celebrates democracy,” says curator and founder of Citizen Joy, Jeff Raz. “Conceptualized during 2024, most of the planning for Views of Democracy took place during an election year. We knew that – regardless of the outcome in November – our country needs an informed and engaged citizenry. Our goal was to encourage a deeper collective commitment to learn about and participate in our democratic system, shining a light on what we have to be grateful for as well as the work to be done.”

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future celebrates democracy through the eyes of visual artists–from video to sculpture and from painting to photography, textile art and mixed media. Accompanying artists’ statements, are both personal and universal and encourage reflection on democracy and citizenship.

Presented by Citizen Joy. Curated by Jeff Raz and Barbara Kibbe.

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. News

The Experience:

A letter from the heart and soul

“From the start, our mission has been clear. Brew classic styles with quiet precision. Honor tradition while raising the bar for quality. Create spaces where beer speaks for itself and community comes first.

“That mission has guided every step we have taken, and it is the reason we grow carefully and deliberately. We do not open new spaces to chase growth. We open them when they allow us to live our values more fully and connect with the communities we care about most.

We would not be here without you. Our Richmond community. Our friends across the Bay. Everyone who has stood with us as we stayed true to brewing classic beer without shortcuts.

“Your support reminds us every day that doing something well, with patience and care, still matters. Because of you, we are here. And because of you, we are ready to grow.

“This September we will open two new locations: The Rec Room in San Francisco and Tam Tavern in Mill Valley. Each one reflects a different part of who we are, yet all are tied to the same ethos that began in Richmond. Classic beer, brewed with care, served in spaces built for connection.

“Three spaces. One East Brother experience. Always built on tradition, craft, and community.”

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. New Release ++

The Experience:

Fall out of Summer beer! And don’t forget – this Sunday is the Summer Classic event.

They weren’t gonna say anything just yet…but we all know East Brother is not great at keeping secrets when Festbier hits the taps.

Their fall seasonal is officially here. Clean, crisp, malt-forward, and brewed with California-grown grain from their partner Admiral Maltings in Alameda .

You’ll hear a lot about Oktoberfest beers over the next couple months, and most of them will be Märzens. They’re the traditional amber lagers, rich, toasty, brewed in March and stored cold through the summer until the festival began. But here’s the thing: the beer actually poured in Munich today isn’t Märzen. It’s Festbier. A bit paler, a bit crisper, brewed with more pilsner malt and meant for long tables, lively conversation and maybe a little dancing.

Classic beers. Classic cars. Classic Vibe.

 Rev up your engines! Join the crew at East Brother on Sunday, August 24 from 12 to 8pm, for a day full of fun for your entire family and friends at the 8th Annual Summer Classic. Expect a stunning lineup of classic cars, live music, delicious food and award-winning craft beers!

It’s a way of honoring craftsmanship—both in the garage and in the brewhouse. The Summer Classic allows us to pay homage to iconic cars and the people who meticulously care for them, who also have great stories to tell! This is where Bay Area car owners and admirers connect while soaking up the sunshine with a cold one. Vote for your favorite cars. The top two voted cars will get to take home the Gold Growler Trophy.

Some of your Bay Area’s favorite food trucks will be on-site serving up delicious fare all day long. Put this on your calendar!
