Get Ready for San Francisco 2008 Open Studios!

It is still early but planning for San Francisco's Open Studios is going on in earnest.  Open Studios will take place the first weekend of October and go through the first weekend of November 2008.

ArtsSpan has sent two announcements to The Shadow in the previous days that we would like to share with you.

The Exhibition Opening Reception has been scheduled for October 5, 2008 at the SomArts Gallery.  We will have more information on this reception as we get closer to the date.

Second, and more important for those of you who will be coming to San Francisco from out of town or out of state, ArtSpan has informed The Shadow that Hotel Rex in the Union Square area of San Francisco will offer a 15% discount on hotel stays for Open Studios attendees.  The Shadow has seen the hotel and thinks it is well worth it -- from the hotel's location after the studios close, you will be in the heart of the Theatre District and fine shopping.  The hotel also has a great lobby bar and restaurant for fine dining.

You can make your reservations now by clicking here.  In the Promo Code field, enter ARTSPAN for your discount.

We hope to see you there.
