Opening reception on March 2 (6 to 8 p.m.),for new show entitled “Hidden Agendas”, art by Devin Kelly and Citizen Zane. The Quantum Art Gallery features fine contemporary art, and is owned/managed by Tarrek Asous. He can be reached at tarrek@thequantumartgallery.com, or 520-207-0102.

I love Citizen Zane’s colorful art and was impressed to meet him a few months ago & learn that he is a color-blind artist. Just look of his lovely painting of the buildings above & below & admire his grasp of composition & color.

Show will run till May 27. Monterey Court is the new artisan collective/shops in a renovated motel on Miracle Mile, just west of Oracle Road.

And on Saturday March 3, I hear that there will have another food truck lunch day, following the success of last week’s first event. About five of those popular food trucks will park around Monterey Court & offer their delicious food. Foodie Fleet, Gnero Loco Bubba-Que, Jamie’s Bitchen Kitchen, Jones Street Bistro and MaFooCo were there last Saturday. Plus listen to Chris Molla – Accordion Freak Fusion, Saturday 11am-4pm. Check it out for a fun lunchtime event, and shop at Monterey Court as well.

Some of those food trucks are supposed to show up on Fridays, 4 to 8 p.m. as well.

These Food Truck events have been wildly popular at Dinnerware Artspace & Benjamin Plumbing, so check out this new location in mid-town at Bookman’s. Just went to the one on Sunday February 19 at the E. 6th St./7th Avenue location, and most of the trucks listed above were there, plus more (total of about 25 trucks/wagons at that roundup).

The next Tucson Food Truck Roundup will gather February 6th, at the parking lot of the Tower Theatres in Marana, 5-9pm.

(Go to MyTowerTheatres.com for directions: Cortaro Exit/IH-10 Tower Theatres,

My blog on the last wildly successful/popular roundup which I attended on January 29 — pictured above (click here). I also went to the very first one on November 10, 2010, and now there are 5 or 6 times are many truck/wagons participating. Lots and lots of people seem to enjoy standing in line chatting with others, while waiting for food service, prepared fresh in those trucks.
