About the Artist:

Sean Mackaoui likes to cut and paste in his much-loved adopted home town of Madrid, Spain. His work has adorned news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines (El Mundo, The Her­ald Tri­bune, Cour­rier Inter­na­tional, The Sun­day Times Mag­a­zine, El Canto de la Trip­u­la­cion, La Folha de Sao Paulo), dripped off posters (Cen­tro Dra­matico Nacional, Spain or Bien­nale du Cinéma Espag­nol de Annecy, France), graced wine labels, adorned book cov­ers, dressed up T-shirts, sold shoes, ani­mated TV spots.… basi­cally any­where they let him put a collage!

He has exhib­ited his per­sonal work in gal­leries around Europe, and occa­sion­ally pieces have been known to cross the Atlantic to the shores of the Amer­i­can con­ti­nent. His proud­est recent achieve­ment was to be awarded an Hon­orary Director’s roll on the board of the San Fran­cisco Col­lage Cen­tre. For more infor­ma­tion, please visit mackaoui.com. Thank you and Gracias.

Off The Grid Comes To North Beach

Via SF Weekly…

YES!!!!!!!!!!! Off the grid is coming to North Beach! No longer will we have to trudge to Fort Mason! Our time has come! WOOOOOOOOO!

Roaming food truck market Off The Grid continues to expand ambitiously, with the latest weekly event set to debut in North Beach. This first foray into the neighborhood will be held at the Joe DiMaggio Playgroundevery Wednesday from 5-9 p.m. beginning on October 24.

…Each week will feature live music and a changing array of eight food trucks. The starting lineup includes Cookie Time, Sanguchon (Peruvian), Municher (German), Cheese Gone Wild, Kinder’s BBQ, Pacific Puffs (cream puffs), Kasa Indian, and Little Green Cyclo (Vietnamese).

Off The Grid’s biggest weekly shebang, held at Fort Mason on Friday evenings, tends to hibernate between late November and March, but this crew is definitely not sleeping.

iPads for Autism Charity Event

Shannon Tomayko from Yick Woo Elementary tells us about a local charity event. It’s Rickshaw Stop 155 Fell St. on Sunday October 28th from 6pm-11pm for an incredible family evening filled with delicious food, amazing raffle prizes and live music by The Ian Fays.

Tickets can be purchased at the door for a minimum donation of $10.
