Description
Witness a select group of over 25 artists as they transform Varnish Fine Art in the coming months, during Project Wrecking Ball. This long-term art project and exhibit is Varnish’s response to the pending eminent domain demolition of their current location at 77 Natoma Street in downtown San Francisco. By continually changing the eviction/demolition date, short-notice, the government agency in charge of demo (Transbay Joint Powers Authority) has blocked Varnish’s ability to schedule further art shows, as they have since opening over six years ago. Instead, a fabulous group of invited artists will leave their studios in the Bay Area and beyond to create artwork on-site throughout the main gallery for this ongoing art event. The varied artwork will be created in paint, encaustic and photo-emulsion directly on the brick walls and on panels in addition to metal sculpture and kinetic art installations. PWB will continue until the wrecking ball swings on Varnish-whenever that may be!
