The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) had a small exhibit featuring some  Olympic artifacts that are artistic in nature:

2024 Paris Water Dancer Poster



2008 Australia Olympic Jacket


2012 Team USA Catamaran Model

1964 Tokyo Event Artist Book

It was really cool, seeing this exhibit. I enjoy all of these pieces and they are all art.

Bringing the Community Together and a Fan Fest

 


The Last Dive Bar (an organization that celebrates the Oakland Coliseum and baseball-They took their name from the Oakland Coliseum which was known as the MLB's "Last Dive Bar") hosted a  Fan Fest on Saturday. It was more than about baseball, it was about community and coming together:


Ice Berg Plants from the Oakland Coliseum 





And there was food and music:






And former A's players signing

Daulton Jefferies and Steven Piscotty

Jemile Weeks and Miguel Tejada

But more importantly it was about community and there were at lot of local, small businesses that represented:

Mitch's Hot Works (Great Hot Sauce)

Feral Unicorn Snack Emporium 

Artist Guy Sliwinski

Sayra Reyes Art

The Oakland Ballers Fan Fest was a great time, even if you don't like baseball. It was basically a giant block party in Oakland and you can see the community come together and enjoy the day and each other.
