This summer marks 32 years of the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts bringing outstanding craft and art exhibitors, entertainment, gourmet

food and fun to the downtown area.

Sponsored by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, this spectacular event features 300 artists from throughout the Bay Area and across the country, and takes place August 24 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on University Avenue between High and Webster streets.

Long considered a premier Bay Area event for its level of quality and variety, the festival offers many one-of-a-kind pieces in sculpture, glasswork, func-tional and decorative ceramics, jewelry and mixed media, as well as paintings in bold acrylics, vivid oils and delicate watercolors.

“It’s a wonderful festival,” said David MacKenzie, President/CEO of the Palo Alto Chamber of Com-merce. “I’ve come every year for the past 20 years.”

This multifaceted event’s array of attractions includes the stunning Sculpture Plaza near University and

Admission is free to the two-day Palo Alto Festival of the Arts, with free parking available outside the event area. For more festival information, call (650) 324-3121 or visit www.mlaproductions.com.

Cowper, which this year showcases James Hill and his dramatic “Reflections in Steel” sculptures.

Always a crowd-pleaser, the Italian Street Painting Expo returns for its 11th year as more than 60 artists transform Tasso Street with temporary pavement masterpieces. Sponsored by the Palo Alto Weekly, this art-in-action event happens both days and raises funds for Youth Community Service through sponsor-ship sales.

Two music stages plus street corner concerts add lively entertainment to the 2013 festival. The Main Stage hosts larger bands playing danceable rock’n’roll, R&B, jazz and soul; the Webster Stage features live acoustic music from folk and Americana to country and blues.

Budding young artists can enjoy free art activities all weekend at the popular Kids’ Art Studio on Kipling and University Avenue, staffed by Palo Alto Parents & Professionals for Art.

Delicious food and beverages are available through-out the festival, including two gourmet mobile food trucks on Emerson at University: visit Kara’s Cup-cakes for sweet treats and Sam’s ChowderMobile for their famous lobster rolls, chowder and more.

Palo Alto Festival of the Arts

celebrates 32nd anniversary


Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce shows its festival spirit

For the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce, now in its 32nd year of hosting the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts, the annual event

brings opportunities for fundraising, showcasing new local businesses and attracting new visitors.

This popular event, featuring many artists whose work can only be seen locally at this festival, attracts thousands each year.

“This is our largest fundraising event of the year. It helps promote economic development and growth of business in Palo Alto,” says David MacKenzie, CEO/President of the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a marvelous festival created in conjunction with our Chamber Members. We couldn’t do it without their support.” And because of Palo Alto’s new Bag Ban, MacKenzie reminds attendees to bring their own reusable bags.

Thank you for supporting the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts

Los Angeles sculptor James Hill cre-ates art out of materials generally thought of as cold and hard-edged:

steel, stainless steel, bronze. In Hill’s hands, however, those metals take on forms that are surprisingly fluid, human, poetic and even playful.

More than a dozen of Hill’s boldly dynamic pieces, ranging from three to seven feet tall, will be showcased as part of this year’s Sculpture Plaza at the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. Titled “Reflections in Steel,” his series of sculptures are being exhibited in free-form style in the outdoor gallery on University Avenue at Cowper.

A California native, Hill earned his degree in fine arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and has been fashioning and fusing metal for more than 20 years. Starting with a pencil sketch, he hand-builds every sculpture, cutting and forming individual pieces before welding

them. The finishing process involves chemical patinas, oxidizers and grinding tools used to create specific surface quality, richness and texture.

“I have an interest in people and relationships, the human figure and form. I give voice to this static, rigid material and turn it into an organic, sensuous, soft form,” he comments. “People always want to touch the sculptures.”

For more about James Hill’s sculptures, including images of his current work and public art pieces, visit www.jameshill.com.

One-of-a-kind wearable art shows off precious metal and gemstones

Judy Lazar’s fine art jewelry combines bold con-temporary designs, high-quality gems and dra-matic settings in platinum or 14k and 18k gold.

The results are stunning: dramatic rings, sculptural bracelets, whimsical pins and graceful necklaces, each piece alight with dazzling stones from all over the world.

“I look for gems that are unique and special,” says Lazar, who individually selects stones for their clarity, color and fire. “The gems speak to me: I see something in them first, before producing a piece.”

Judy’s next step in this intricate process is sculpting a me-ticulous prototype of the piece out of various types of wax and then enclosing the carving in a plaster mold. When the mold is heated in a kiln, the wax melts and leaves a form ready for injecting molten gold using a casting machine and crucible.

Lazar employs a variety of tools and techniques in fin-ishing the raw product, from hammering and sanding to ultrasound cleaning and polishing the piece. The stones are usually set in place last, she explains.

“If I feel excited about the piece that I’m making, I know it’s going to work,” adds Judy.

The Sherman Oaks artist has been a jewelry designer and goldsmith since 1981. She holds a Master of Arts degree in metalsmithing and jewelry-making, and studied extensively at the Gemological Institute of America. Lazar has also taught high school jewelry classes and set up a jewelry program for inner city youth.

Artists take to the streets for the 11th year at the Palo Alto Festival

of the Arts, as the Italian Street Paint-ing Expo returns to delight and amaze festival visitors on August 24 and 25.

Presented by the Palo Alto Weekly, this popular event features more than 60 artists from throughout California, creating works of art in chalk on the pavement along Tasso. Participants begin sketching early Saturday morn-ing and complete their pieces at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Festival-goers gather all weekend to watch this fascinating live-art dem-onstration. Street painting’s long and rich history originated in 16th-century Italy. It soon spread across Europe and by 1890, some 500 Londoners were fulltime pavement artists.

The festival’s chalk-paintings range in size from 4-by-6 feet to 12-by-12 feet,

Thank you sponsors!

Thanks to the generosity of these sponsors, proceeds will sup-

port service-learning and leadership programs during the summer and school year. Particular thanks go to Stanford Shopping Center for the Chalk-a-lot event, University Arts for artist’s chalk, Whole Foods for artist’s lunches.

Italian street painting: Art in action

at the ground level

with subjects varying from familiar classical masterpieces and dazzling 3D art to original abstract designs. Past street paintings have included high-tech subjects, Botticelli angels and Maurice Sendak illustrations.

Sponsorship sales of the spaces bene-fit Youth Community Service. Proceeds raised from this fundraising effort help to bring awareness to programs such as leadership opportunities for young people and service-learning projects throughout the Bay Area.

A kids’ chalk-a-lot area also gives chil-dren under the age of 12 the chance to participate in the street-painting event by creating their own 2-by-2-foot artwork for a minimal fee.


On the stage or in the street, music moves the festival

Music is in the air at the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. Two separate stages host every sort of

music, from rock’n’roll to acoustic harmonies; and street corner concerts offer performances in the round for strolling festival-goers.

The Main Stage at Waverley will rock with danceable bands, including Sugadady and The Garage Band. Hailing from Oakland, Sugadady’s six talented musi-cians play every kind of music from hip-hop tunes to Frank Sinatra croons.

The Garage Band has been making music since 1984, when they literally started practicing in their garage. This five-member San Jose cover band performs music from the 50s to the present.

On the Webster Stage, members of the California Coast Music Camp will perform an eclectic array of music types including Americana, folk, country and blues. An engaging line-up both days and a Com-munity Ukulele Jam session too.

At the Webster Stage, the son of a roadhouse musi-cian, Larry Diehl has never strayed too far from his roots. He is an accomplished singer-songwriter-player with his own clear and distinctive voice.

Sultry singer Jayme Kelly Curtis & Friends will also cook up a musical stew featuring chunky blues and savory tunes from Tin Pan Alley and beyond.

This year’s street corner musicians bring sweet strings and lively accordion antics. Don’t miss the haunting Celtic harp music of classically trained Aryeh Frankfurter. The Great Morgani, Santa Cruz’s “Accordionist Extraordinaire,” brings his own unique brand of street performance again this year.

The Nature of Play“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”― Albert Einstein

Nature is enticing. It invites observation, stimulates curiosity and begs interaction. The outdoors poses interesting problems that inspire thinking and expand understanding of the world.

Harker Preschool combines child-centered learning and teacher-guided explorations in a community rich with music, art, movement and nature. Here, our littlest learners stretch their thinking, deepen their focus, and develop the social, emotional, physical and academic skills needed to thrive in kindergarten … and life.

Colorful whimsy and beauty captured in hand-blown glass art

Organic forms or abstract designs, these sculptures shine and shimmer

Sculptor Jeff Laing quit his corporate job in 1991 to make art. He never looked back.

Jeff and his wife Susan produce dazzling stainless steel sculptures, often embellished with ele-ments such as copper and dichroic glass. Originally invented by NASA to use in astronauts’ helmet shields, dichroic glass is a color-shifting material made of layered metal and glass.

“Each sheet can have 35 to 65 layers,” says Susan. “One can flip from purple to green to blue; another goes from hot red to orange to yellow. We’re very excited for people at the Palo Alto festival to see the pieces.”

“I like using dichroic glass with the steel: it’s a great combination,” Jeff comments.

The two Colorado Springs artists are bringing a variety of work, from 22-inch wall hangings to a freestanding 10-foot sculpture. One brand-new

piece, “Flow,” displays multi-colored dichroic glass on opposite sides.

Each one-of-a-kind piece begins as a 4-by-10-foot sheet of stainless steel. “We start with an idea – or maybe a dream,” says Susan.

Jeff is responsible for the steel fabrication, a process that includes plasma cutting and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding. Both artists share the sanding work; Susan sets the glass and finishes each piece with a protective coating.

“I love to create,” says Jeff. “The satisfaction of making a thought, memory or emotion

into concrete form is what drives me … my hand and spirit touches each piece from start to finish.”

Bob and Laurie Kliss make art look fun. Their uniquely appealing, hand-blown glass pieces are marvelously playful, vividly colorful and

delightfully different.

From graceful “BOBtanical” floral sculptures to cunningly detailed fantasy teapots, the one-of-a-kind pieces created by these two Fresno artists embody a world of multihued energy and texture. Imagine Dr. Seuss, Alice in Won-derland and a touch of Disney, combined with the bright and reflective beauty of glass.

“Life is pretty serious, so we figured we’d make something happy,” says Bob, who admits to being partial to their olive green and red pieces.

“I love the bright acid greens and happy purples,” comments Laurie. “Colors with a punch.”

The two artists founded Kliszewski Glass in 1993, building upon their shared background in stained

glass and fused glass art. “But the blown glass is so much more vibrant,” Bob says. “And no shapes are exactly the same.”

In creating these unique glass sculptures, the pieces and colors for the base are first as-sembled, before being fused with secondary elements. Bob then blows the vessel, continually

heating and re-heating the piece to temperatures of up to 1000 degrees.

Melting and fusing the glass, he works it to a final desired shape; after cooling, each piece is signed

and dated.

“Some people see flowers. You’ll notice that they curve: flowers don’t grow straight up and down,” says Bob. “Other people see ocean

floor life.”

Master carvers bring wooden sculptures to life

T he name of Osvaldo and Michael Orellana’s business says it all: “Wood Is Magic.”

This father and son from Upland transform pieces of solid walnut and mahogany into lifelike sculptures, from galloping horses to eagles and bison. Their exquisite rocking chairs combine function and fantasy, the backs and rockers often embellished with branches, blossoms and animals.

A multi-talented artist, Osvaldo began carving at the age of six in his native Chile and developed a love of horses on his uncle’s ranch in the Andes. He became an accomplished painter and studied architecture before moving to the U.S. and joining the California Carvers Guild.

Michael, who grew up in Claremont, started displaying significant artistic talent in middle school. Beginning by working in clay, he soon began to

help his father on major wood sculptures. Osvaldo designs the pieces and carves details; Michael works on assembly, carving and finishing.

“This is not something you can do quickly – at the end it’s almost sad to finish, yet very satisfying,” says Osvaldo. “But the best part is working with my son. We respect each other and are a perfect team.”

One of the Orellanas’ most intricate carvings depicts a remark-ably detailed stagecoach robbery, complete with startled passengers.

No screws or nails are used in making these realistic sculptures; after the design template is cre-ated and the wood is cut, pieces are glued with dowels before being

carved, sanded and oil-finished.

Their web site shows numerous sculptures as well as the carving process: www.woodismagic.com.
