ArtMRKT & ArtPad coming up this weekend

dear friends,

this Thursday, Art MRKT is opening for the first time at the beautiful Fort Mason Pavilion, and even if you really do not feel like seeing any more art you could probably still go, just because of the amazing location.

Here are some links to a few of the fabulous galleries showing there, just in case you needed free VIP tickets:

• Rena Bransten gallery
• Seager Gray gallery
• Dolby Chadwick gallery

And while you are at it, why don't you swing by the Phoenix Hotel in the TL, to enjoy some real rock star flair and a lounge chair by the pool, surrounded by the motel-rooms-turned-galleries at ArtPAD.

Our friends at ArtSpan are providing discounted tickets here, your secret code is ArtPadSFFriends.

More news on upcoming shows soon. I am working on a few commissions, Portola (new cityscapes), the Dancers (new figurative work), a project for the America's Cup and I am trying some ideas for the August show at Arc Gallery (Four Square).

I hope your spring is going well. Have a great week and maybe I will see you at the fair!
