The Jewish Community Center of San Francisco celebrates
SKIN DEEP: THE ART OF TATTOO
An Exhibit in the Katz Snyder Gallery
Free Opening Event on Wednesday, November 2
includes live installation by artist Paul Mullowney
Exhibition open October 3, 2016 – January 20, 2017
Skin Deep is organized by JCCSF Curator of Exhibitions, David J. de la Torre, in collaboration with co-curators Juan Puente and Takahiro Kitamura.
According to de la Torre, “Since the 1970s San Francisco has been at the epicenter of a tattoo renaissance. Skin Deep is meant to provide a rich educational experience while playing tribute to some of the Bay Area’s most accomplished contemporary artists who have made significant contributions to a greater understanding and appreciation of this ever popular art form.”
Accompanying the exhibition is a special site specific installation inspired by tattoo traditions created by local artist and master printmaker, Paul Mullowney. Large-scale woodcuts and etchings will be created and pasted directly to the gallery walls in a performance piece culminating at the November 2 event.
The Katz Snyder Gallery is located on the second floor of the JCCSF and is open free to the public: Monday through Thursday: 8 am to 10 pm. and Friday through Sunday: 8 am to 6 pm. For additional information, please visit
