The Experience, Emeryville: The Compound Gallery Event

The Experience:

Make ART in the PARK!

Attention printmaking pals and park enthusiasts! Join The Compound Gallery for a fun event in the Doyle Hollis Park at 1327 62nd St in Emeryville on Sunday, September 17, from 1-4pm.

The Compound Gallery is hosting a free Printing in the Park extravaganza. Picture this: a sunny park, the smell of ink in the air, and you, trying your hand at letterpress printmaking.

Together you will be printing posters that celebrate our local parks, community and art! Ink, paper and a dash of creative chaos, all under the sun-soaked skies. Artist David Fullarton will be there printing free prints for visitors!

Why Letterpress Printing?

According to The Compound Gallery owners, Matt and Lena Reynoso, it goes back in time.  “Printing the word has been humanity’s most powerful tool for mass information exchange. At one time, all printed material was printed using letterpress technology and although commercially abandoned for modern printing techniques, we find traditional hand set letterpress type is still a viable way of printing one’s message in multiples to share with the world.” Many believe Letterpress Printing communicates an elegance and handcrafted quality that is classy and truly unique today.

The Reynosos’ goal is to introduce people to this historical process at their ‘Printing in the Park’ event and bring the community together for a fun-filled and creative afternoon of togetherness. “We love the Doyle Hollis Park,” they continue, “and aim to activate it with free community events like this. Through demonstration and participation we aim to connect the participant in a real hands-on printmaking setting. We love introducing art and art-making to those who may not have an outlet for their artistic expression. Art appreciation is something everyone can benefit from.”

Free posters! Free raffle to win art! All of this in a beautiful park with live music, good people and a food truck! More details to come. Stay tuned!

Their gallery across the street from the park will be stocked with fantastic prints just waiting for you to snatch them up. So, bring your pals, bring your imagination and turn that park into a printmaking paradise! It’s a day of fun, laughs, ink-stained fingers, and who knows – maybe you’ll even pick up a new favorite hobby.

This event is part of the Rotten City Cultural District, as designated by the California Arts Council in partnership with Visit California and Caltrans.

The Compound Gallery has a gallery, print shop, art facilities and an online art shop. Their hours: Wednesdays – Sundays, 12-6pm.

The Experience:

Get your putters ready & take a swing at hunger!

Sip, putt, enjoy a taco and help fight hunger. Tipsy Putt, Emeryville’s popular mini golf bar & restaurant, has partnered with Move for Hunger and AVE to host a golf tournament for a good cause.

The tournament, with various levels of competition, begins at 2pm on Thursday, August 17, at Tipsy Putt at Bay St to benefit Move for Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and providing meals for those in need in our community.

 Tipsy Putt will also conduct a food drive throughout the month of August, naming Move for Hunger as its Sunday FundDay recipient. For every beer and game of golf, Tipsy Putt will donate $1 to Move for Hunger during August. Sponsors are still needed for this Par-tee with a purpose fundraiser.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5.  You’ll find Tipsy Putt at the north end of Bay St  across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.

Move for Hunger is a nonprofit that mobilizes delivery of  ‘rescued’ food to food banks and pantries. Their network of socially-responsible relocation companies provides their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move.

The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Openings

The Experience:

The Trophy Club @ Tipsy Putt!

It feels like a retro style bar that hints at the historical Speakeasy era, reminiscent of the old Townhouse in the days of old in Emeryville. Owners Brandon and Jennifer Robinson have created an adult ‘drinkertaiment’ concept with three brands – Tipsy Putt taproom, Mini-golf and the Trophy Club lounge hidden inside Tipsy Putt.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5. Mayor John Bauters and vice mayor Courtney Welch celebrated their Grand Opening on Jan 31.

Fans gathered yesterday, February 8, for the opening of the Trophy Club, your new go-to place for cocktails.

“The beauty of the Trophy Club,” explained member and fan of the Sacramento Tipsy Putt’s Trophy Lounge, Shane Bharat, “is that it’s low key and chill. You have a purpose when you are here. At the very beginning of the Sacramento Trophy Club, I literally came for a Coca Cola that they made from scratch.  I have always felt very welcome and love what they do for members. Love their events.”

Memberships and events are now available in Emeryville! Visit soon, take a tour and learn about the benefits.

Valentine’s @ the Trophy Club means Chocolate Grenache on fresh long stemmed strawberries. Plus more delectable bites and drinks. Current Bites offered include Charcuterie Board, Cheese Board, Chef’s Board – both meat and cheese – and Baguette & Marinated Olives with House-Made Giardirniera. This menu will evolve!

What they’re serving is unique with house-made syrups (banana & simple syrups), house-dehydrated fruit garnishes, fresh juices, fresh herb infusions (rosemary infusion) and more. They even make their own grenadine in house. And Valentine drinks are on the bar menu until the end of the month!

Bitter Taste of Love – Gin, Campari, crème de mure and orange bitters. Strong, bitter, semi-fruity.

Love Me Tender – Ramazzotti Aperitivo, vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup (house-made) egg white and angostura bitters. Refreshing, floral, silky.

White Wedding – Blanco tequila, fresh squeezed lime juice,m kumquat liqueur, Licor 43, ginger beer and cream. Fruity, creamy, effervescent.

All cocktails are curated by their mixologists, Josh & Marqui. Get down there and meet them at the Trophy Club! And then try your hand at mini golf and check out their 40 beers on tap. You’ll find Tipsy Putt & Trophy Club at the north end of Bay St (5690) across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.
