Description of exhibit
We are proud to present the final show in our four-part exhibition at Berkeley’s vibrant community art space, The Subterranean Art House. This presentation features Sherrod Blankner, Jane Norling and Matthew Silverberg.

Sherrod Blankner paints sensuous rural vistas and burned-out cityscapes whose buildings she finds exude human emotions.

Jane Norling brings her love of powerful land formations marked by human survival into lyrical abstract paintings and 
metal-print digital compositions.

Matthew Silverberg presents themes of megacities, post abstract expressionism and exploration
 of digital techniques in digitally-enhanced prints and “traditional” but “wild-color” paintings.


The 1030 Art Group is comprised of 12 mid-career and emerging Bay Area artists who are pushing the boundaries between digital and traditional arts by using a wide variety
 of techniques including photography, sculpture, painting, textiles, mathematics, collage, software and alternative printing surfaces.

Mindfulness Alameda Sangha Sunday Dec. 8th

Dear Friends,

 
This Sunday Dec. 8th I'll be reviewing some of the information from two weeks ago on what constitutes full-fledged mindfulness, with its associated healthy and beneficial mind states.  
Then together we will inquire into how we know whether or not we are mindful, how we can create the conditions for mindfulness to arise, and what it feels like when it is there.  
Bring your personal (or universal!) practice questions and insights to share.
with warmth,
Deb Kerr

The Musicians of St. Dominic's

The musicians of St. Dominic's Catholic Church provide music for weekday and Sunday Masses as well as Solemnities, Holy Days and many special services such as weddings, memorial services and funerals.

Our regular pattern of music making is:

Weekdays
6:30 AM Mass           Said
8 AM Mass     Cantor
5:30 PM Mass     St. Jude Mass with hymns

Weekend
5:30 PM Saturday Vigil Mass               Cantor
7:30 AM Quiet Mass     No music
9:30 AM Family Mass     Family Mass Choir
11:30 AM Solemn Mass     Schola Cantorum
1:30 PM St. Jude Mass in Spanish     Spanish Choir and Ensemble
5:30 PM Mass     Contemporary Choir & Ensemble
9 PM Candlelight Mass     Cantor led TaizĂ© music

Liturgical music is a sacred art form. We are mandated by the church to use only live music, not recordings. Our challenge is to recreate the sounds envisaged by the composer through the medium of printed notation to lift the soul of the worshipper to a higher plane. The music that we perform is of the same quality as the arts forms found in our national art galleries and museums.
