YBCA "Big Idea" Night: Ritual & Redemption
What’s the Big Idea?
LATE NIGHT PARTY
Sat, Jun 6, 2009, 9 pm—3 am
YBCA Grand Lobby and Galleries
FREE • RSVP RECOMMENDED
This Saturday, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will hold its final free "What's the Big Idea?" late night party of the season, ending on the theme "Ritual & Redemption." The party starts at 9 pm, and while they're no longer accepting RSVPs for preferred admission, everyone is welcome to show up and wait in line. With the Mission Street Foodtruck (yes, they're back in a truck!) arriving outside the museum on 3rd Street at 7:30 p.m., you have incentive to get there early. The lineup includes music from local bands Pansy Division and Ex-Boyfriends, "Project Nunway" from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and free tattoos from local tattoo artists. If you really love YBCA, getting a YBCA logo tattoo and filling out some paperwork will get you a free lifetime membership. Cheap cash bar too, of course.
Attendees will also have access to the three current YBCA exhibitions—Nick Cave: Meet Me At the Center of the Earth (dancer and artist Nick Cave, not the Bad Seeds frontman); Under A Full Moon: 30 Years of Perpetual Indulgence, including art, photos, and artifacts from San Francisco's outragous drag nuns; and Through Future Eyes: The Endurance of Humanity, a collection of 11 pieces by artists like Shepard Fairey and Melissa Day, curated by six teens from YBCA's Young Artists at Work program.

Chocolate and Chalk Festival, Berkeley, CA
The sidewalks along North Shattuck Ave. in the Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley are the target of artists young and old, professional and greenhorn during the 13th annual CHOCOLATE & CHALK ART FESTIVAL on Saturday, May 30.
With no fees to artists, areas of sidewalk will be assigned to participants to create their own fanciful chalk drawings. A CHALK ART CONTEST for the best drawing will be judged after 4 p.m. Winners will be notified the following day. First prize is $250 with $50 gift certificates awarded for runners up. Same-day registration takes place 10AM-5PM in event booths located along North Shattuck Ave. Artist's chalk is available for a fee.
For CHOCOLATE SAMPLING start by purchasing a packet of tickets (10 for $10) at any of the registration sites. The to-go menu features organic café mocha, chocolate mochi ice cream, and spicy chocolate tandori chicken, as well as the weirder chocolate goat cheese truffles, chocolate garlic clusters, and chocolate soap! Spend your tickets on these delights in the businesses flying festival balloons.
Vendors with chocolate-related items and hand made arts & crafts fill the Farmer’s Market area, music fills the air, clown’s laughter fills your heart, and many more surprises fill your senses as you stroll along the sidewalks viewing the artwork that remains in place for the next two weeks. See last year’s winners at www.chocolateandchalkart.com.
