This video: First Kiss by Tatia Pilevia for WREN
later notation: As this video went viral, many felt duped that it was a piece showcasing Wren's collection and that the people were actors and models. However, the first visual is "Wren presents" - although obviously most folks aren't aware that it's a clothing line. Also, one of them is referred to as having experience with this as an actor and I feel that it's obvious that this is staged... It still doesn't take away the initial impact it had on the public. Beautiful people swooning over intimate human contact.

I love this video by Creative Bug with Ali deJohn, creator of Makerie and her explanation of the intent behind Makerie and the Chautauqua Movement.

This podcast on KQED's Forum about the high cost of living in San Francisco and how the local artists and galleries are being affected. Having had grown up and lived in the area for over half my life it's something dear to me that art stays vibrant there.
