Join us at KALEID Gallery for this upcoming TWO BUCK Tuesday, June 18th, 7pm-10pm!

Come enjoy an inspired evening of performances, live painting, $2 art, drop-in sketching table & quirky people get together! It’s open to all ages and free!

Here are some of of the participating artists who will be joining us this time:

?Carolann Espino ?will demonstrate working with clay. Specifically she will do hands on demo to create an’ Alice in Wonderland’ Teapot.

David Canavese will be on hand working on his detailed papercraft models. Some of his drawings and detailed micro metal sculptures will also be on display!

Jesse Cupp ran away to join the circus as soon as he could! After living a life of adventure and traveling far and wide, he’s back to amaze and amuse! But just who is this mysterious man… every answer he gives seems to raise more questions. Why did he work on a goat farm? What drove him to teach English in Beijing? And where the heck is Guam? Ask him yourself at Two Buck Tuesday!

Anno Domini presents a night of live music with San Jose's Kevin Mason Hull, The Seaons from Oregon and The Anatomy of Frank from Virginia!

Kevin Mason Hull
Kevin Mason Hull's new album is just about complete, and he's preparing to enter the "promote-until-my-voice-is-hoarse-from-screaming" phase. Come celebrate with Kevin as he releases a preview CD of three songs off the album, and premiers some songs with his band!.

The Seaons
The Seaons (see-ons) are a young Southern Oregon Indie Rock band playing original songs. Their influences range from the joyful renderings of African marimba to the soothing harmonies of modern Indie Rock. While refusing to fall neatly into any one genre the band develops all their compositions around a myriad of ideas and carefully completes the tunes with well placed percussion and an unspoken willingness to please.

http://www.seaons.com/

The Anatomy of Frank
The Anatomy of Frank believes music is good for many things. Among these are dancing recklessly, sitting motionlessly, percolating, sobbing privately, weeping publicly, destroying things, getting into relationships, getting out of relationships, nurturing a good mood, enunciating a bad mood, entertaining a fantasy that you are more badass than your social situation allows you to be, accepting that you are average in many ways, believing that you are extraordinary in others, laughing, screaming, and jumping.
