The Art House, tucked away behind a big silver gate on Shattuck Ave. is a bit of a surprise. Covered in artwork with psychedelic drawings and posters, as well as, a table lined with lava lamps, the converted barn now music/art venue transports you to a time and place of "make love, not war." The owner & staff of the venue are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the moment you enter the door. Peter Lewis from the band Moby Grape & his daughter (my niece) Arwen Lewis put together a magical night where they included several talented members of the family to perform including a beautiful and soothing harp performance, a stand-up base player and an a cappella duet. A mind bending light show accompanied the performance and provided the backdrop to the stage. At times I was transfixed by the lights and sounds of the show. Its definitely worth a visit to the Art House even if you dont know the performer.

Great musical talent every month. The performances here continue to surprise me with some of the most professional and experienced musicians I have ever met. Profoundly friendly and welcoming. Bring your Tie-Dyed shirt if you want to fit in. The Pot-Luck events have been great. Bring fresh fruit salad if you want to please the host! Herald is a joy, and his famous Berkeley photojournalistic work lines the side walls in black and white. This is where the local musicians hang out on Saturday nights...

VERY Berkeley, a walk down Sixties memory lane. From a magnificent lava lamp collection to old posters on the wall to a wall of books selling for $1 to fabulous photos of the Panthers and protests of that era. The owner is so helpful and appreciative and wears many hats. Its funky but wonderful. I want to go there for many more things! Performers and audience connect easily!
