I apologize for being a bit delayed on the culture coverage this week; planning for the Women Innovators event in early December is ramping up and we’re excited about the interest in the first @IgniteBayArea to date. That said, November events of note this week include:
Art in Storefronts: The final edition of temporary art installations in vacant storefront windows takes place this Friday on 24th Street between Folsom and Potrero. A reception at Triple Base Gallery will celebrate the work of local artists Abner Nolan, Kelly Ording, Jetro Martinez, and Tahiti Pehrson before an art walk. It’s an interesting pilot program by the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development–I’d be eager to see if it’s moved the needle on move-in rates in the neighborhood’s it’s been in.
THREADshow: Fort Mason, venue for craft fairs and the Social Capital Markets conference alike, will host a fashion and trend extravaganza this Saturday and Sunday. It’s to include the wares of designers including Bootie Boutique, an area creator of one-of-a-kind belt buckles. The event will have the usual trappings–silkscreening, art show, and DJs–but a bike park is a nice addition if you’re able to get all your new (used) vintage wares home via cycle.
