Please join special guest, Bill Nussey, CEO, founder and author of "Freeing Energy" for a discussion of the surprising ways small-scale "local energy" systems will disrupt the century-old power industry from the outside in. Register Here Everyone knows that small-scale DERs (distributed energy resources) are a growing trend that represent one of the first challenges in a century of electric utility domination. But what many people do not yet understand is the unstoppable and irresistible nature of this trend. It is not only unleashing an internet-like wave of competition and innovation, it is creating new pathways for resilience, lower cost, and social equity, in the US and across the world. Bill Nussey will share the findings from the 320 interviews across six countries captured in his new book, "Freeing Energy." He shares what the US legislators and policymakers can learn from Africa, Australia, and Europe, as well as the history of computers and internet, as they try to navigate a clean energy future. This event is being hosted by the North County Climate Change Alliance and the Center for Community Energy. There will be time for questions from the audience.

Distinction Gallery is thrilled to announce the opening reception of “There’s No Place Like Home,” a solo show by San Francisco based fine art painter and muralist Amandalynn. Amandalynn painted a 140 foot long mural on the side of our building in 2016 and we are thrilled that she will be returning to paint a mural inside our on site art bar, Last Spot by Hidden Hive. The mural unveiling will be at the opening reception on June 11 from 6-10 p.m. As a fine artist, Amandalynn is inspired by the female form and spirit. She is passionate about her illustrative depictions of strong, seductive women, capturing an alluring invitation to each viewer through strong line work and decorative patterning. Amandalynn shows her artwork extensively throughout the world. Additionally, she is continually invited to create murals throughout the world. Amandalynn has welcomed a huge fan base through being the art director for Kaaboo Music and Art Festival. Her artworks and murals appeared throughout the festival's initial launch in Del Mar in 2015 and will again be featured in 2016 in Del Mar and additional upcoming festivals. The exposure has helped Amandalynn to further develop a strong collecting base. Amandalynn has created 10 brand new whimsical paintings and custom wood sculptures for the exhibition. The opening reception with the artist, open studios, live music, and drinks for sale from Last Spot by Hidden Hive will be held on Saturday June 11, from 6-10 p.m. The exhibition will run from June 11 - July 2.
