Through Sat Sep 6
New works by Yumiko Kayukawa
In the fanciful life of Yumiko Kayukawa, she is able to hang out with animals like best friends. A colorful picture of a pouty lipped, glossy eyed girl hugging a manatee the way a child hugs their grandpa, first grabbed my attention. The connection between animal and girl is captivating.

San Francisco Mime Troupe's
at parks all over the Bay Area (2pm) Theater
It’s Election Day in small town America! The Heartland - apple pie, general stores, hard work. But in Bluebird, Kansas, apple pie has been replaced with government cheese, general stores have made way for pawn shops, and hard work on the job has become the hard work of survival. Littered with a crumbling New Deal infrastructure and its monuments to a feisty union past forgotten, Bluebird is ready to slip into oblivion. But what if a small town in a Red State found itself at the forefront of a political fight?
