Hospitality House's 25th Annual Art Auction Benefiting the Community Arts Program
Thursday, April 29th, 6:00 - 10:00 PM
Andrea Schwartz Gallery"My Other Half"
March 5 - May 5
Opening Reception - Friday, March 19th, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Collaboration is defined as the process where two or more people work together in an intersection of common goals by sharing knowledge, learning, and building consensus. In the spirit of collaboration, CENTRAL CITY HOSPITALITY HOUSE’S COMMUNITY ARTS PROGRAM and GALLERY 146 are pleased to invite you to the exhibition entitled MY OTHER HALF.
“It seems inevitable that from a collective of artists that commune together frequently, we would witness spontaneous and enlightening results,” said Ivan Vera, CAP Program Manager. “Some collaborations were borne from one artist demonstrating the potential of one technique incorporated into a different media and some out of mutual admiration for one another’s work.” After witnessing the potential exemplified in just a few works, Hospitality House decided to further elaborate on the theme by setting the boundaries for the exercise that became this exhibition.
“When it comes to a successful collaboration, both sides seek to enhance the final outcome by merging sensibilities into one triumphant combination of ideas,” Vera explains. “Realizing the concept of negotiating and merging ideas is akin to the compromise involved in a successful partnership is insinuated in the exhibition’s title.”
The final collaborations will be flanked by and linked to one individual work from its contributors to illustrate their stylistic sources. Since some participants will be taking part in multiple collaborations, and since the pieces are being linked to one another, the gallery will present an interesting visual mapping of where the stylistic offerings of this community intersect one another.
"Windows into the Tenderloin"
Opening Reception - Friday, March 5th, 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Corner of Jones Street and Golden Gate Avenue
On Friday, March 5th, from 3:30 pm to 6 pm, muralist Mona Caron will unveil “Windows into the Tenderloin”, her new public mural spanning the northeast corner of Jones St. and Golden Gate Avenue, in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District.
Mona Caron’s site-specific design was inspired by extensive community interactions including dozens of interviews, tours, and meetings with local residents, communities and organizations. The mural includes references to local history, and depictions of the neighborhood and its residents, with details inspired by the artist’s ongoing direct contact with the neighborhood population. Mona’s work site has become a popular meeting place for residents of the community to gather and talk about the themes represented in the artwork. The mural also includes a section featuring tiles with artwork created by artists working at Hospitality House Community Art Center, as well as by children at the Boys & Girls Club of San Francisco Tenderloin Clubhouse Art Program.
The Opening Celebration will begin in front of the mural, at 3:30 pm, where local residents, many of whom are featured in the artwork, will gather for a dynamic neighborhood group photo. Unveiling remarks will begin at 4pm, followed by an indoor reception, half a block away, at 134 Golden Gate Avenue.
