Another month is upon us, with its heaps of great things to see being organized for us lucky residents of the Bay Area. We're especially psyched to see Hillary Wiedemann's solo show Afterimage at MacArthur B Arthur and a two new solo shows at Important Projects on Friday. Meanwhile on Saturday, there will be a curator talk for State of Mind:New California Art circa 1970 at the Berkeley Art Museum (our own little slice of Pacific Standard Time).

If your purse strings are feeling a tad loose, might we suggest a preview of KNOW/HOW, Royal NoneSuch Gallery’s first annual live and silent auction on Friday, March 2, 7-9pm. It is a chance to see and be the first bidder on many fantastic pieces by local artists such as Joshua Kit Clayton, Hannah Ireland, Emma Spertus, Luca Nino Antonucci and Joel Dean.

Wednesday:
+ Chris Froh, D. Edward Davis , Dan Kennedy, Jen Wang, John P. Hastings , Loren Mach, Peter Swednsen "Other Minds Composer Fellowship Concert" at The Lab

+ Lecture: "State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970" curated by Constance M. Lewallen at Berkeley Art Museum
