WE (current Bay Area Art Cards writers/editors) ARE MIGRATING TO CURIOUSLY DIRECT... Please sign up for our weekly emails from there, 'Curiously Direct Direct'  LINK

Would you like to help with Curiously Direct? Would you like to take over Art Cards? Let me know at curiouslydirect@gmail.com.

Two 'fall classics' are upon us, Halloween and the World Series. I'm a sports fan which means I am, at times, obnoxious. I'm sure (if its not you) you have friends who are super excited about either costumes or baseballs... let them have their (our) fun, there are plenty of days in the year to stress about Uber and Ebola and whatnot. 

There are art events this week despite it being a holiday and the end of the month. I highly recommend Sofia Cordova's show at Royal NoneSuch, and she is performing on Halloween which should be great. And Saturday, there is a great looking show opening at di Rosa in Napa. With works by three artists whose work I like, Teresa Baker, Liam Everett and Leslie Shows, it will be well worth the drive.
