"Are you an emerging artist? Well, Artist-Xchange
might just be the place for you. My first visit to this gallery was
with a fellow artist friend and we both agreed that it was a nice
little dig. The staff
is gregarious and helpful. Best of all? You can afford the art.
From originals to giclee prints, you can invest in some art that
you can actually appreciate over time. Another commendable element
of this art gallery is the diverse types (representational to
abstract). Definitely worth a visit while you're strolling on
Valencia!

The setting is deep mission funky, the space is cozy
(read: small) but the people have their heart in what they are doing....
Hole in the wall where you can show your own movie (if you made one) to
a random audience on ATA's projector.

"quite
simply the cultural heart of my favorite intersection in the city
...he's super involved in the community and hosts art openings, book
readings, and music performances here that are worth cramming into the
aisles for. It's a great place to meet local artists, musicians, and
just plain locals who are anything but plain... The art receptions are
probably the most awesome thing about the store."

of events and organizations, from dance groups made up of local kids to
crafty lady gatherings to weekly hula hooping practice... This is a

There are some amazing pieces here that are completely affordable
and half of the proceeds will go towards a really good cause... CE
is a great spot to pick up affordable original art for you or your
friends. It's a art studio/gallery for developmentally disabled
adults. They have paintings, sculpture, ceramic masks, note cards,
etc. If you walk through the small gallery, you can head toward
the back where the artists are working. They are open and will talk
to you about what they're making."

"At
least one weekend, forego the multiplex and support arts in SF.
You'll be glad you did... The theater features local artists, so go
support them --- I saw some friends perform (Strong Current,
all-woman modern dance troupe with awesome choreography) there this
weekend- and it was a great night."

"This is a wonderful place to see art and
music at the same time in the Mission. The acoustics were fantastic and
it was a warm, intimate atmosphere, I hope this place will continue to
grow... This place is a real supporter of the arts and a great place to
go if you want to really experience music or art in close quarters."

"All the shows I have been to have been great and the artists
they feature always ranged in their art discipline which is always nice
to see. The staff there are the absolutely best, cheerful, helpful, and
always good for a conversation.... It's a definitely a breath of fresh
air in the snooty and hipper-than-thou art scene though and I'm glad
it's around."

city is remarkable not only for its beauty.
It is also, of all the cities in the United States, the one
whose name, the world over, conjures up the most visions

more than any other, incites one to dream. "

The
Clarion Alley Mural Project
When the Bitter End Meets the Rainbow Swallow |

By Amy Larkin Gelbach |
Clarion
Alley runs between Mission and Valencia, parallel to 17th and 18th
streets. It is open 24 hours a day and visible during daylight and
dusk. |
Clarion
Alley Project at sfstation
|
"Clarion
is in constant dialogue, continuously involved in a struggle
of expression that plays out in a vibrant conversation down
its length. Protests against domestic violence, and war and
aggression by the establishment cry out together. Memorials
boldly and graciously eulogize those who have fallen. An
image of Apocalyptic San Francisco and a figure of Uncle Sam
spitting bombs on to his foot sandwich Julie Murray's
photo-realist escalator."
