The Experience, Oakland: Montclair Art Walk April 22-23

The Experience:

It’s an Outdoor Boutique. It’s Handcrafted. It’s an Art Alfresco Experience!

Join the villagers and artists on Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 23 from 10am – 5pm. Plan your day around this sidewalk art show and have lunch in Montclair. The Art Walk celebrates art in the outdoors with more than 40 artists from the Bay Area and beyond displaying their handcrafted works in the Montclair Village nestled in the scenic backdrop of the Oakland Hills.

Connect with the artists and find a unique treasure for gifting or adding to your personal collection.

Paintings, sculptures, home & office décor, artisan bags and clothing, unique hand-crafted jewelry and more.  Presented by the Montclair Village Association, this free open air art gallery offers a chance to get to know the participating artists and learn the stories behind each piece they make.

Among the celebrated artisans participating in this year’s event is Gila Sagy of Gila Glass in Concord. Her work is a balance of function and beauty, fitting in the mainstream of contemporary design, yet singular in its direction, composition and style. Her work is inventive and one of a kind. “Nature is my greatest source of inspiration. I love plants and flowers; I love the ocean and its waves,” says Gila. “Another source of great inspiration are people. Their comments, questions and reaction to my artwork are very important to me. It’s a great privilege being able to meet art lovers and enthusiasts in person at art shows and events.”

The contemporary and unique glass designs that Gila creates use the traditional manner of fusing in a kiln. More info on her Facebook page.

The Art Walk takes place in the Montclair shopping district on Mountain Boulevard at LaSalle Avenue, off Highway 13, between Park Boulevard and Thornhill Drive. For more information, contact the Montclair Village Association at (510) 339-1000. You can also see more information here.

The Experience, Oakland: Waldear Kegerators Beer

The Experience:

Ghost Town Pouring WK Homebrew!

Join Waldear Kegerators down at the Laurel District Ghost Town Brewing tonight –   Thursday, February 2 at 7pm. They chose Pablo’s Postre,  his petite pastry stout as a featured local home-brewer beer. It clocks in at 7.35% ABV and is conditioned on Tahitian vanilla beans soaked in Japanese whiskey, toasted coconut flakes, toasted taco nibs and cardamon seeds. You’ll like the hint of vanilla.  It’s lighter in body than most stouts and has a nice aromatic punch with notes of chocolate, herbal warmth and a menthol type flavor. Plus great food on their menu.

Ghost Town Brewing’s Beer Garden + Kitchen is located at 3506 MacArther Blvd in the Laurel District of Oakland.

About Waldear Kegerators

Waldear Kegerators will show you how to elevate your evenings with fresh beer on tap in your own backyard or home.
