San Francisco Cooperative Art Gallery and Studio Space

Ah, the weather gods blessed us on Friday night with a beautiful sky and held off the deluge until the art fans & friends could safely enter and exit the building!

Thanks for everyone who came out and made the event such a success. There were more than 100/150 guests throughout the night, which is great considering we didn't put as much into marketing as we sometimes do.

It was also exciting to unveil the art of some if our newest members - Natalie, Matt & Alex, Charlie, and Kadence (though Kadence is a returning member) and welcome in two guest artists - Mim and Bronwyn. I was struck by the ingenuity and diversity of the art on the walls of this show, yet Chad and Therese managed (as always) to make it magically cohesive in such a way that the pieces really complemented each other.

I especially enjoyed the fascinating approach that Natalie takes to her self-portraits, with eyes that jump off the canvas, Bronwyn's bold and sophisticated graffiti cityscape, and the cleverness with which Chad and Kadence presented their work (some of Chad's pieces are 6-sided canvases hanging from the ceilings and Kadence has illuminated her photography with the most novel of lightboxes).

The show will be up for the rest of February, so please come by and visit during our open studio hours - Wed thru Sun 3-8.
