Lots of art to view this month of October - each weekend Open Studios in San Francisco.....5 weekends = 800 + Artists. Art Span's guide book is the best ever this year with good sized color images of the work. Hurry! only one weekend to go, and that is the Hunters Point area. Art we have year round at our main San Francisco museums, opens three shows this month: Masters of Venice - Renaissance Painters comes to the de Young on October 29th, Pissarro's People opened on October 22 at the Legion of Honor and Richard Serra Drawing - a retrospective at SFMOMA began October 15. Plan to see each one, but no need to rush - all three shows continue into 2012. I chose to venture down to Pacifica today to attend a reception for Tangerine Arts at Ocean Yoga - 90C Eureka Square. A group of local women artists who show together have their wonderful artwork in this peaceful setting until November 27th. www.oceanyoga.com Then onto Sanchez Art Center on Linda Mar Blvd. for the Art Guild of Pacifica's 53rd annual Members Exhibit, and the Awards for Excellence from last year's show featuring the winners Bill Gallo, Myles Kleinfeld and Deanna Taubman. All three galleries filled with good art in many mediums - Four artists (Amanda Boehm-Garcia, Cynthia Rettig, Janine Stegnaier and Denny Holland) received the Awards of Excellence for 2011. There were also six Merit Awards given by Shannon Trimble, the Awards Juror. Very worthwhile art experiences all - go see and enjoy! |
