| Farley's on 65th |
 |
| Hello Emeryville! The Farley's family has grown with the addition of Farley's on 65th, a great little brick building located at 1195 65th street between San Pablo and Hollis (the former space of Bailey's on 65th). We are up and running with limited hours (Mon-Fri from 7:30am-2:30pm), but look for expanded and weekend hours starting at the end of June. Stay tuned for more details and your exclusive invite to the grand opening party the last weekend in June!

Developed for an international audience hungry for information across a variety of sectors, Monocle's team of award-winning editors and correspondents have been drawn from The New York Times, The Independent on Sunday, the BBC, CBC and a host of other news and current affairs outlets. More of a book than a magazine, Monocle's designed to be highly portable (it's lightweight and compact) and collectable (it's thick and robust). Edited by Wallpaper* founder and Financial Times columnist Tyler Brûlé, Monocle offers a comprehensive global briefing under a single editorial brand. In print and online, writers and photographers are dispatched to over 50 countries every issue to deliver stories on forgotten states, alluring political figures, emerging brands, fresh forces in popular culture and inspiring design solutions.

City Canvas and Westlake Elementary School Present the Westlake Signal Box Project
Get a sneak preview of the murals to adorn the Uptown signal boxes!
City Canvas is a grassroots project intended to foster neighborhood identity across the East Bay through community-driven public art. A collaboration of professional and seasoned teaching artists, community builders, city planners, and arts administrators, the City Canvas team was brought together by our common desire to contribute to the vibrancy of our cities. City Canvas will create opportunities for shared visioning and creation of public art in neighborhoods across Oakland and Berkeley through partnerships with city agencies, neighborhood schools, businesses, residents, and local artists.
Through a grant from the City of Oakland Public Art Program's Open Proposals, City Canvas will work with eighth grade students at Westlake Middle School near Lake Merritt. As part of a leadership course, the students will work with the community, create art that explores their identities as youth and as Oakland residents, and examine how they fit into the broader civic community.
Lead teaching artist and professional muralist David Stern-Gottfried will adapt this art into a format to be painted and installed on traffic signal boxes throughout Oakland's Uptown/Lake Merritt neighborhood. As part of the design process, students will actively engage local residents and businesses, and open paint days in the spring will provide an opportunity for interested community members to be directly involved in the project. Student work may also be featured in gallery settings, and as part of Oakland's First Friday Art Murmur sometime in the late spring. Art work will be installed summer 2010 on traffic signal boxes.
