Did you know that on December 11, 2009, Space 4 Art first signed the lease for our current site? Help us celebrate our 15th anniversary during Open Studios on Saturday, December 14 from 6:00-8:30 pm! Guests can even enjoy a free slice of anniversary cake.
Come hear live musical performances, stroll through our artists’ studios, and check out a mini pop-up art show in the co-live space highlighting our resident artists. Curated by Alaric López, the exhibition will showcase artist responses to the problem of holding onto hope in hard times.
Space 4 Art’s Open Studios are always a casual event where artists and arts lovers alike can mingle. While entry is always free, please bring cash, credit or use Venmo to make concession purchases— including beer from Mission Brewing, hot cider from Trader Joe’s, and empanadas from Empanada Kitchen —or to purchase art. Our artists receive 100% of proceeds from art sales; Space 4 Art never takes a cut.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
6:30-7:00 - Felix Diaz and Drummers Without Borders
7:00-7:30 - Amy Cimini + Nick Lesley
7:30 - 8:15 - Alaric López (improvisational guitar)
We look forward to celebrating this milestone with the community! Please check back here closer to the event date for more details.
