  of work by its member artist constituency. The exhibition showcases
  work by artists of all ages who live and work in the Bay Area.
  Hundreds of artists submit work digitally in a variety of media

02/29/2008 - 03/29/2008
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=5858

   How do we coexist with the ever-present possibility of disaster?  
   How do we react to a social climate that reminds us to be 
   perpetually suspicious and very much afraid?  The artists in 
   The Sky is Falling, a multi-media art exhibition, suggest we 
   are responding by arming ourselves (both literally and 
   figuratively), using beauty to express outrage, and at 
   times fiddling while Rome burns.

* All Mixed Up - 03/14/2008
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=5791

   Come celebrate with some of the Bay Area's finest

  the story.
