Mission Open Studios Day 1

With all of the partying now at an end, The Shadow is now able to concentrate on Open Studios in the Mission District instead.

 
  
  
  
Some of the works on display this weekend

The Shadow visited the following studios today:
  • ActiveSpace
  • Art Explosion -- 17th Street Studios
  • Art Explosion -- Harrison Street Studios
  • Art Explosion -- Alabama Street Studios
  • Developing Environments Studios

The Shadow has always believed that, of the three independent Spring Open Studios given in the City, the Mission District has always come out on top in our book.  The work of artists in this section of town is always cutting edge and The Shadow has never been disappointed.  In fact, one of the newest forms of art that The Shadow viewed this year was 3-D art that required 3-D glasses to view (and yes, for the first time since The Shadow has been doing this blog -- he had to remove his glasses to view the art with the 3-D glasses).

 
  
  
More work on display this weekend

If you did not get out today, there is still time.  Mission Open Studios will be taking place on Sunday from 11:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m.  The Shadow will be in the area until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow before leaving for another event, but we will see the remaining studios at that time.
