I posted this video at the blog a few months ago, but never shared it here. It's a portrait of Yokoo, who I wrote about in early 2010. This is a beautiful video.  And Yokoo has a delightful way of sharing her quietly reflective philosophy on life.

  

Playing for Change is an organization committed to bringing people together through music.  They record musicians all over the world, many of them street artists who play with change baskets at their feet.  These musicians are then brought together on video via the modern art of studio mixing. This video, Stand By Me, was the group's first project. It works beautifully musically over an underlying theme of human connectedness.

For 20 years, Arts Habitat, on California's Monterey Peninsula, has fostered a vision of creating a place to create art. That vision is becoming a reality with their upcoming opening of affordable studio spaces.  As part of the celebrations, Arts Habitat is presenting a group exhibition of works by artists who have helped them over the years.  

I have had the honor of serving on the Arts Habitat board and, although I can't be there in person, I will be represented by my artwork, shown here.  

The show runs April 8 - June 3.  There's more info here.
