Biggest Opening Night ever!

Huge Thanks to everyone who came out for our party last Thursday night!  We had double the attendance of the rest of our shows and ALL of the food, wine and beer were heartily consumed!!  This great night featured incredible work, art sales and fantastic opportunities for mixing and mingling!!

Even the kids got to take part in the action under the firm hand of flour painter, Tim Armstrong, who helped them make their own unique flour painted emblems on our gallery floor.

For those who signed up for the Sewer Ride, you probably heard it was cancelled due to torrential rain.  The SFBC Sewer Ride has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 10th at NOON.  There will be a small party at the gallery to welcome riders and any one else who wants to come out and celebrate this awesome show at 3PM.

In the background, you can see the newly erected Bayshore mural on the unused grain elevators.  This project was commissioned  by the San Francisco Art Commission and lights up at night.  A great landmark to find our gallery for these upcoming receptions!!

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
