Hi Art Friends,
Blasted Art Gallery is excited to present Sonoma County artists Nancy H Dempster, Dayana Leon, and Michael Dirk Risch for our upcoming show.
This date coincides with the SOFA Arts District First Friday event in Santa Rosa, so other art galleries and artists' studios will be open to the public that evening.
Leon's work emerges from a socio-political narrative, whereas Dempster and Risch are working from a more intuitive, experimental place. Aside from differing aesthetics and creative pursuits, these three artists have in common a spirit of invention, refinement and exploration in their work.
We truly hope that all art lovers in Sonoma County and in the Bay Area will get an opportunity to see this unique work!

Free Landscape Design Templates for the Fire Rebuild
The Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership and partners are developing free landscape design templates to help fire victims get back in their homes faster, while encouraging long-term environmental sustainability. Sonoma County residents are invited to attend two community input sessions to participate in the development of these landscape design templates, which will help define the look, feel, and functionality of the landscapes in the neighborhoods being rebuilt.
The Non-profit group Daily Acts and Ann Baker Landscape Architecture will be leading the Community Input Sessions on the evening April 5th at the Finley Community Center from 6-8pm., with support from the Sonoma County Water Agency, City of Santa Rosa, Equinox Landscapes, and Foresite Mapping. The first half hour of the meetings will be devoted to socializing, meeting local builders and other contract professionals and reviewing a number of concept plans for different landscape aesthetics and features. There will be a brief presentation followed by small group design charrettes and a facilitated discussion providing a summary of feedback and next steps. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Designed to be scalable, these landscape templates will be available to the public to help meet the permitting requirements associated with the installation of new landscapes. Community input is vital to ensure that these templates will be useful and provide the values and looks desired by Sonoma County residents.

Santa Rosa Junior College and North Bay Organizing Project (NBOP) invite proposals for workshops, presentations, panels, and performances for our second-annual We the Future Social Justice Conference, which will be held at SRJC Petaluma on Friday April 13, 2018 from 9am to 3pm and is FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. You can submit a proposal here:
https://wethefuture.santarosa.edu/call-proposals. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!
Last year's inaugural conference attracted nearly 400 participants and drew people together from all walks of life, from college and high-school students to longtime local activists representing varied groups including Graton Day Labor Center, LGBTQ Connection, Community Action Coalition, Homeless Action! and the Police Brutality Coalition of Sonoma County.
We encourage proposals that address this year's theme: "Feeding Ourselves, Feeding Our Souls." This year's topic reflects both the issues of social justice in the realm of food, as well as the urgent concern with healing, nourishing, and building healthy communities in the aftermath of the devastating North Bay fires. Proposals for workshops that are hands-on and interactive, and that address the connection between social justice, personal and community wellbeing, and equitable access to resources will be prioritized.
In keeping with this theme, our keynote speaker will be Nikki Silvestri, a thought leader on issues of food justice and sustainability who was named one of the 100 Most Influential African Americans by The Root magazine.
We hope to see you at the conference! You can also register to attend, table at our Resource Fair, or volunteer at wethefuture.santarosa.edu. Those who register will enjoy free lunch and live music at noon by SLV, the new critically-acclaimed project of Sandra Lilia Velasquez, formerly of alt-Latin group Pistolera, who performs soulful Chicana protest songs that mix pop, electronic, hip-hop, and world genres comparable to Sade, Santigold, Ana Tijoux, and Little Dragon.
