JOIN US TOMORROW from 6-8pm for the opening reception of SCRAP ART: Creative Reuse In the Bayview.  This exhibit not only shows the work of dozens of reuse artists from the Bay Area but also represents friendships, community partnerships and innovative programming.

SF Bike logo

This year’s adventurous and moderately challenging tour will start at the Daly City BART station. We’ll climb east, up and over San Bruno Mountain and drop to the edge of San Francisco Bay. Turning north, we’ll sniff our way around the backside of Candlestick Park, investigating the squishy boundary between humans and H2O, with emphasis on the massive sewer mechanics below our feet. The tour ends just north of India Basin, at the Reclaimed Room, an exhibition space for environmental arts, crafts, and media. A project of Building Resources at 701 Amador Street.

12 miles, some climbing, some steep downhill, and a bit of dirt and gravel. Bring helmet, water, good attitude and a snack! Comfort riding in traffic and groups advised. Questions? contact miles@milesepstein.com

Get some insight on her process by viewing her profile video below!

@ReclaimedRoom (19) Solis with Curator Soumyaa Behrens

Learn more about Solis through his artist video below!

Both artists, in their own ways, create new spaces of engagement through their individual art works and compliment one another quite gracefully.
 
Lady Saphire reinvents the world through works made from melted plastics, resins and trash remnants that are unusually striking and oddly familiar.
 
Solis invites us into the graphic universe of Wildewood, where characters made from reclaimed materials spring to life and provoke questions of togetherness, tolerance and utopian ideals.
 
 
This show delves into the other worlds that exist right before our eyes and these artists bring those alternative cosmos-es to life in our next show.
