"This week, we are showcasing literary and art events, such as the open house at The Bookmark Bookstore to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Friends of the Oakland Public Library. Also, I highly recommend the exhibit of wood-fired ceramics, "Stoked." And, since fall has officially started, don't forget to check out our Fall Events roundup so you don't miss out on the events coming to The Town beginning this month."
"Scott Parady, the director of Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology Project and Ceramic Faculty at California State University, Sacramento, curated "Stoked," an exhibit featuring the wood-fired ceramics of more than 36 artists from around the United States. The exhibit, housed in the June Steingart Art Gallery in the lobby of the Laney Tower, runs through Dec. 5. Monday and Wednesday, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 11 a.m to 2 p.m., 900 Fallon St."
