Sound in Visions: Music is the Muse - ACCI Gallery Exhibition May 2 - May 31 ACCI Gallery | 1652 Shattuck Ave ​About the Exhibition:  Auditory and visual art have often had a symbiotic, intertwining relationship. Both use composition, rhythm, harmony, texture, and movement to communicate. Each distinct expression sparks creativity within the other—highlighting, contrasting, even blending into one another. We think of works by Matisse, Kandinsky and Stuart Davis transforming sound and rhythm into color and brushstroke; the breathtaking use of deconstructed instruments in sculptures by Armand. Artists have long captured musicians in portraiture, or become musicians themselves by creating their own instruments. As commentary or collaboration, music and visual art make a compelling pair. Let the music be your muse! Saturday, May 23: Live music, rock n roll face painting, and haircuts with Rocky Angel, Electric Chaircut, Theresa Currie, and Jason Stamburger. Saturday, May 30: Closing Reception from 3-6pm with performances by Christine Shields and Agness Twin. Read more about the exhibit, events, artists, and performers! RSVP to the Opening Reception Business Spotlight: Tigerlily Tigerlily | 1513 Shattuck Ave Open Daily, 5-9:30pm Tigerlily began a new chapter in 2019, when they took over the space with a simple but ambitious vision—to create something that felt both familiar and unexpected. they wanted a place where the bold, vibrant flavors of India could meet the fresh, seasonal spirit of California. From day one, Tigerlily has been about balance. The kitchen blends traditional Indian inspiration with modern California creativity—bringing together spices, textures, and techniques in a way that feels approachable yet distinctive. Every dish reflects that philosophy: rooted in heritage, but never limited by it. Over the years, Tigerlily has grown into more than just a restaurant. It has become a neighborhood gathering place—a spot for celebrations, casual dinners, and everything in between. What makes it special isn’t just the food, but the people who walk through the doors and make it part of their routine. The bar has always been at the heart of the Tigerlily experience. From handcrafted cocktails to a thoughtfully curated selection of wines and spirits, they approach the beverage program with the same creativity and care as the kitchen. They have also focused on building a welcoming bar atmosphere—one where guests can drop in for a quick drink, explore something new, or settle in for the evening. It’s a space that reflects who they are: vibrant, relaxed, and always evolving. To bring the community together even more, they offer Happy Hour every day from 5 to 6pm—an inviting time to unwind with specially priced cocktails, wine, and bites in a lively, relaxed setting. Tigerlily will be a participating location at Taste of North Berkeley - make sure to stop by to say hi and grab a sample of their delicious bites and drinks!
