Meet talented Tri-Valley artists as they open their studios, homes, and collectives
The fifth Tri-Valley Artist Studio Tour (TVAST) will be held the first weekend in May, May 1 to May3. TVAST will be a weekend filled with creativity and inspiration. More than 70 artists will be displaying their art in their homes, studios, gardens, and collectives, representing the entire Tri-Valley. Participating cities include Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, and Danville. Visit more than 25 locations to watch demonstrations, browse art for sale, and talk with local artists. You will find all kinds of wonderful art from paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass, mixed media, photographs, and collage, to jewelry, textiles, and wearable art.
You will be amazed by the variety and originality in the artwork. This is a unique opportunity to experience the exceptional talent of local artists. Buy directly from the artist: from small gifts and home décor to full-size wall art, there is something for everyone at TVAST.
This fun family event is open and free to the public. Come and support local Tri-Valley talent and experience the tremendous diversity the local art scene has to offer. TVAST creates an opportunity for visitors to enjoy and discuss with the artists, their tools, techniques, and their inspiration with artists offering affordable art at studio prices.

Alcosta Boulevard

The Save Soil Walkathon is a free, family-friendly one-hour community walk at San Ramon Central Park on Sunday, May 3rd from 8:30 to 10:00 AM. Vice Mayor Marisol Rubio of the City of San Ramon will join as Chief Guest. It's part of a coordinated 38+ city movement across the US and Canada this spring, organized locally by East Bay parent volunteers.
The walk raises awareness about soil degradation — a quiet but urgent crisis. Over half of the world's topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years, and the UN's FAO warns that 90% of the world's soils could be degraded by 2050. The Save Soil movement is a global awareness campaign backed by the UN's FAO, UNEP, UNCCD, WFP, and IUCN.
The event is open to all ages, stroller- and dog-friendly, and includes simple hands-on soil activities for kids. No fundraising, no sales pitch — just a chance to walk together and start a conversation that matters.
Details:

Monte Vista High School

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.
