The Art of Ronnie Goodman and Jason Rivers
Dual solo show featuring new and recent worksNovember 11 - December 9, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, November 11, 5:00-7:00 PM
Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program (CAP) presents another round of solo exhibitions, featuring works by Ronnie Goodman and Jason Rivers. The Artist Reception for these exhibitions takes place on Friday, November 11, from 5:00pm – 7:00pm at the CAP’s temporary gallery space at the Luggage Store Gallery, 1009 Market Street at 6th Street.
Both artists describe that making art has been crucial in providing them a form of salvation in difficult times. Although both received a solid art foundation during their childhood, it was not until reaching adulthood that they were able to focus on art, developing their talent and finding a way to survive through adversity
For Goodman, whose compositions from San Quentin balance the hardships of cellblock life with the hopefulness that only art can bring to him, it was finding the Arts in Corrections program at San Quentin, which helped him rise above his ten year sentence. He was not only able to focus his time on his work, but he was also able to teach other inmates the art of the linocut.Ronnie's work was recently featured in the San Francisco Chronicle (click to read the story).
For Rivers, whose imagery bears the ambiguity of trying to piece together a dream or the elusiveness of recalling a forgotten childhood memory, it was art making that helped see the light and slowly emerge out of the dark place he found himself after a deep and personal tragedy. His perspective is reflective in his works that carry almost imperceptible phrases like “trying over and over, never giving up” or “trapped inside an invisible landscape I was afraid to let go.”
The exhibition runs from November 11 through December 9, 2011 with an artist reception on Friday, November 11, from 5 to 7 PM. The reception is free and open to the public. The Community Arts Program is located at 1009 Market Street, at Sixth Street, on the ground level of the Luggage Store Gallery.

"7 Deadly Sins"
Group show featuring artists from the Community Arts ProgramSeptember 23 - November 4, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, September 23, 5:00-7:00 PM
Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program (CAP) is pleased to invite you to the group exhibition entitled 7 Deadly Sins, featuring works from artists utilizing the free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery temporarily housed at the Luggage Store Gallery, 1009 Market Street at Sixth Street.
Through the centuries the seven deadly sins have represented the dark side of human nature’s shortcomings, and their meaning has evolved over time. As a group they have inspired countless writers, artists and musicians; they are even found today in cinema, modern video games and Manga series. The seven deadly sins encompass the opposite of some of the higher virtues mankind is expected to achieve: humility (pride), charity (greed), kindness (envy), patience (wrath), chastity (lust), temperance (gluttony) and diligence (sloth).
The CAP continues the tradition by asking the artists to expand the interpretations into a modern day context on how they relate to each artist or their works.
Some of the participating artists include: Ronnie Goodman, Jason Rivers, Robert Miklos, Charles Blackwell, Joyce McClellan, Roya Bozeman, Michael Pilate, J.C. Brown-Miller, Harry Driggs, Dot Butcher, J. Rickey, Janet Williams, Txutxo Perez, Robert Chambers, Greg McKenna, Jason Smith, James Irvine Taylor, Marsha Campbell, Kyle Breschini, R. Panter, Bobby West, Ivan Vera, Mini Sage, Jeff Roysdon, Jim Housley, Pepe, Peter Chrisler, Frank Ward, Brock Bates, M. Clift, and Ren (plus artists from roaddawgz, a group for homeless young adult writers and artists).
The exhibition runs from September 23 through November 4, 2011 with an artist reception on Friday, September 23, from 5 to 7 PM. The reception is free and open to the public. The Community Arts Program is located at 1009 Market Street, at Sixth Street, on the ground level of the Luggage Store Gallery. For more information, contact Ivan Vera at 415.553.4525 ext. 304 or ivera@hospitalityhouse.orgHospitality House's Community Arts Program is the only free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery space for homeless and poor Tenderloin artists and neighborhood residents.

"Identity Theory "
Group show featuring artists from the Community Arts ProgramMarch 25 - April 29, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, March 25, 5:00-7:00 PM
A group exhibition in which the artists of the Community Arts Program present a modern take on the classical concept of "self-portraiture," investigating the various stages and possibilities of self-identity. We persuaded the artists to venture into their psyche, and to encourage their ego to tango with their id; reverential self-reference is the whole idea of this project. In an new era of digital media where people often chose to represent themselves through the use of avatars, social networking and blogs, we introduce a multi-media exhibit that explores the darker and more complex aspects of our persona and how we choose to portray ourselves to the world.

"A Survey" and "Recent Paintings"
Works by Jeff Roysdon and Jim HousleyFebruary 21 - March 18, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, February 25, 5:00-7:00 PM
The Community Arts Program (CAP) presents its second round of solo exhibitions, featuring works by Jeff Roysdon and Jim Housley. The Artist Reception for this exhibition takes place on Friday, February 25th from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at The CAP's temporary gallery space at the Luggage Store Gallery, 1009 Market Street at 6th Street.
Both artists use geometric lines and color as a starting point to very different results. Housley, a painter, printmaker and graduate of the New York Studio School, is rooted in a mid-century traditional approach, and his creative concerns are balanced between spatial harmony and timeless elegance. Roysdon, a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, and a "Mission-School" influenced artist, deconstructs geometry and works the surface by building layer upon layer using a pigmented gel medium to build up his shapes and lines, bringing forth the tactile and physical properties of the paint. He then distresses the surfaces to bring a dilapidated effect reminiscent of old signs, often incorporating cultural symbols of a kitschy nature to accent the compositions. He will also be showing some playful ventures into new media by showcasing some video works done in Flash, as well as some of his clay works.
This show runs from February 21, 2011 to March 18, 2011 and the Artist Reception is free and open to the public. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from artwork sold at exhibitions go directly to the artists. For more information contact Ivan Vera at 415.553.4525 or ivera@hospitalityhouse.org.
Founded in 1969, Hospitality House's Community Arts Program is San Francisco's only free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery space providing professional instruction, materials, and exhibition/sales opportunities to homeless and poor Tenderloin artists and neighborhood residents.

"Roots"
June 8 - September 3
Opening Reception - Tuesday, June 8th, 4:00 - 7:00 PM
Celtic Coffee Company, 142 McAllister Street (between Leavenworth & Hyde)Hospitality House's Community Arts Program (CAP) are pleased to invite you to “Roots,” a joint exhibition with Faithful Fools to be held at the Celtic Coffee Company starting June 8th, 2010.
“Roots” explores themes of a personal nature: cultural heritage and identity, self-discovery and personal growth are among the topics illustrated in this exhibition. “It is people’s own individualities that forge the core of a community, and the Tenderloin is no exception,” said Ivan Vera, CAP Program Manager “In a neighborhood where most of its residents are not afforded a proper living room in their places of residence, self-help centers and other community programs offer a constructive solution to spending time off the streets during the daytime,” he continued.
Both the CAP and Faithful Fools have been dedicated to providing their Tenderloin neighbors with more than just a place to escape the hardships of the street, but also a safe environment where residents and local artists can explore and express their creativity, an intangible factor that often gets neglected by the hardships of every day life. The works presented in the exhibit clearly celebrate the importance of these Community Programs to its participants, in a time when they are threatened by the massive city budget cuts looming ahead. The support extended to these programs by neighborhood businesses like the Celtic Coffee Company helps emphasize the sense of sharing and helping one another in the community.
Having a joint exhibition at the Celtic Coffee Co. also offers an opportunity for the two programs to culminate their respective creative writing workshop with a Spoken Word/Open Mike during the artists’ reception on Tuesday, June 8th from 4 to 7 PM.
Some of the artists participating in the exhibition are: Charles Blackwell, James Scoville, Iris Brightwater, David Michael, James Word, Jim Housley, Kirsten Hove, Txutxo Perez, Patty Walker, Marsha Campbell, Kai Figueroa, Robert Chambers, Brittany Sondergaard, Amanda Sage, Midori Meissen, and others.
The Celtic Coffee Company is located at 142 McAllister Street between Leavenworth and Hyde. Their hours of operations are: Mon-Thu: 6:30 am – 7:00 pm; Fri: 6:30 am – 6:00 pm;
Sat-Sun: 8 am – 6 pm.
Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program is located at 146 Leavenworth Street and Faithful Fools is located at 234 Hyde.

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.
