Last night was the opening reception for “scrap art: creative reuse in the Bayview,” which runs until July 26th at two venues, including the Reclaimed Room inside Building REsources in San Francisco. Don’t let the exterior fool you, the exhibit space inside is nicely done. A bit strange to have artwork cheek by jowl with construction materials in what’s basically a home improvement center featuring used, reclaimed and recycled goods – but it works. The show’s stated theme of “creative reuse” is perfectly in keeping with the venue.
Joey was a bit nervous, as she was one of forty artists, and neither of us knew anyone at the reception. Actually, since we don’t know anyone, I can’t be sure how many of the forty artists were at the reception. Two of Joey’s works are on display: “His Own Man,” (see interior detail below in the Sunday in S.F. post) and Simran, both of which were featured in a Sacramento show late last year.

The reception was a great success, and we enjoyed meeting the other artists and hearing about their creative process.
There are several more events scheduled, as indicated in the show link, both in the REsources venue and the Public Glass venue. Note that the family event at Building REsources on July 19th is free, but the July 26th event at Public Glass has a $25 admission fee.
