Gallery Walk at Sculpturesite
Film crews navigate American suburban Qur’ans and rodeo Jesuses.
Experiential micro worlds of yesteryear and graphics of subversive counter-cultures.
Monstrous fairytales and political collage with the sounds of San Quentin Johnny Cash.
Painted photo snapshots and the marriage of steel and glass in sculpture.
Noise. Movement. Wine. Finger food.
No, this is not an attempt at bad Beat poetry. That would be the wrong area of town. It is not the echo of yesterday’s North Beach; it is the creative vibrancy of today’s SOMA - an energy nexus of contemporary conversations and visual cornucopias. What does all this activity mean for an otherwise quiet Saturday afternoon? It must be the semi-annual Yerba Buena Gallery Walk!
On Saturday, October 24, fourteen participating galleries opened their doors to hundreds of art aficionados and casual passers-by. Each offered free admission, served light hors d’oeuvres and wine, had staff on-site to engage in dialogue, and showed an assortment of emerging and established artists. It was a veritable art party encompassing four blocks of San Francisco’s SOMA district. Participants who visited three or more galleries were eligible for a drawing with prizes. The event culminated in a wine tasting sponsored by the Bay Area Wine Association. The entire day was wonderfully successful and enjoyed by all.
If you missed the event, there will be others. Look for our email in the coming months announcing the Spring Gallery Walk. But don’t wait that long to get your art fix. We will see you at Sculpturesite soon!
