Open Studios Week 2, Part I

It has finally begun.  Open Studios is now underway in San Francisco.  And with what The Shadow saw in his travels today, art is alive and well in San Francisco.

 

  

  

  

Some of the work on display at various studios

The Shadow visited several artists at Fort Mason, Pacific Heights, Hayes Valley, and the Haight today.  It was an exhausting but very fulfilling day.

One of the people The Shadow was excited to meet today was Theresa Grannuci.  Theresa is a 15-year-old high school student participating in her first Open Studio event with her father, John.  She is a talented artist and highlights the future of art in San Francisco.

The Shadow wishes to personally thank all of the artists for giving us access to their works and telling us their stories.  We are looking forward to continuing our quest tomorrow.  Studios will be open tomorrow between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

And speaking of news -- there is a great article that appears in the San Francisco Chronicle Datebook (Pink Pages) on Sunday on Open Studios.  You can read the article here.  More pictures are available here.

Get out Sunday and view art -- the artists would love to see you.
