Davisville, Feb. 5, 2024: The Artery at 50, Cuteware, and painting Putah Creek

Mon, 02/05/2024 - 6:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Heidi Bekebrede, Adele Shaw at KDRT January 2024.JPG

The Artery co-op/gallery/store turns 50 this year. Most of its downtown Davis neighbors from the 1970s are gone, so how has the Artery lasted? Heidi Bekebrede and Adele Shaw, two of its members, list several reasons on today’s Davisville, and some might surprise you — they include the hours (most art galleries don’t open daily), the variety (most don’t display so many artists), members who work in the shop, turnover that brings in new artists, fresh displays, and a town with lots of people interested in the arts. The train station a block away helps too.

We also talk about the store’s name, how they find members, the other meaning of “cute” in Bekebrede’s Cuteware, the way Putah Creek inspires Shaw’s paintings, and how managing a 32-machine laundromat in San Francisco introduced Shaw to first- and second-hand stories of her neighborhood from many decades before.

Jan. 31, 2024 -- S. F. Sorrow by the Pretty Things on Album of the Week

Wed, 01/31/2024 - 1:43pm | Jess Goddésse

SFSorrow.jpg

Dug Deep hosts Album of the Week and he'll be spinning the British psych classic, S. F. Sorrow, by The Pretty Things. It's noted for being the first "concept record," having been conceived of and recorded in 1967-68 and released in 1968, well before the Who's Tommy. No comparison between the two pieces, really, but I'm gonna guess you haven't heard S. F. Sorrow much. Hope you can tune in and join us on Wednesday afternoon.
