Join us for an evening of stimulating discussion at ArtSpan's SF Open Studios Exhibition. You'll have time to browse the gallery, featuring 300+ works of art by local artists, and get a taste of what's on view during SF Open Studios (Sept 20-Oct 13). Local art luminaries will discuss how and why they each selected their AMPLIFY: Juror's Choice Award-winning artworks. You'll also hear from winning artists about their inspiration sources and process.
