The Shadow Views Soft Core

Many of you have written to The Shadow to ask about ARTWorkSF's feature show "One Night Stand". Well The Shadow has found out recently that "One Night Stand" will not take place this year, citing scheduling difficulties. The show will return next year.

In the meantime, ARTWorkSF has made up for the loss of "One Night Stand" with their August First Thursday show entitled "Soft Core".

Artist Genea Barnes with some of her work

This was a beautifully done show. All of the works were very sensual and sexy without being over-explicit. There were works from just about every medium (The Shadow especially enjoyed the photos), and there was even erotic poetry recited.

This show will be open through August 25, 2007 at ARTWorkSF's studios at 49 Geary Street, 2nd Floor.
