Open studios in San Francisco's Mission district plenty of work for sale by great artists. We also have Balitronica doing her performance as the Phantom Mariachi. She will give you a shot of tequila and wash your feet in exchange for your confessions addressing complex identities and gentrification in Silicon Valley. See us at Army lofts off of Cesar Chavez and Valencia studio 315.
