The birth, death and rebirth of Santa Cruz’s First Friday art tour
by Wallace Baine
​
Twenty years ago, two guys showed up at my office with an idea they wanted to float by me.
​
At the time, I was the arts editor at the Santa Cruz Sentinel. I knew one of the guys fairly well. The mononymed Chip (“Just Chip,” he would say by introduction) ran The 418 Project, and was involved in so many other arts/performance organizations, I began to suspect he was not one person, but one of several clones. (Would explain the odd, vaguely AI-sounding name, don’t you think?)
The other guy that showed up at my office that day I would eventually come to know well. But at the time, I didn’t know him at all. He was a New York-raised artist and dot-com refugee named Kirby Scudder who wore a trucker’s hat like it had been surgically screwed into his skull. Kirby had a salesman-like talent at presenting any idea as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

First Friday
Santa Cruz:
Pairing Fine Wine with Fine Art
by Bree Karpavage
​
At the end of Pacific Ave and the cusp of the roundabout to the ocean sits Big Basin Vineyards Wine Bar, a beautifully crafted room of redwood and steel smelling of fermented grapes, good conversation and fine art. A fairly new addition to the downtown scene, Big Basin Wine Bar moved from Saratoga in 2021 to Santa Cruz – an extension of the popular vineyard and tasting room at the top of China Grade in Boulder Creek.
​
Long time wine-lover, club member and artist, Randie Silverstein has helped put this new wine spot on the Downtown map, curating First Friday exhibits since November 2022. A long time Santa Cruz Open Studios artist, Randie creates with crushed glass, forming colorful discs and unique installations. Her art curation skills just warming up as she invites both established and emerging artists into the space, pairing fine wine with fine art.

Ann has been organizing Open Studios for nearly two two decades, and she’ll be bringing with her three marvelous artists whose studios you can visit: Mixed media artist Janet Silverglate, Printmaker Stacy Franck and glass maker Randie Silverstein."
