Together: A Group Exhibition Featuring the Artists of the Treat Avenue Studio
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Heron Arts is excited to announce its upcoming group exhibition comprised of artists who work in the Treat Ave studios in San Francisco’s Mission district. The history of the Heinzer building laid the groundwork for its becoming a vessel of creativity and expression, its primary use today. The artists who fill the building vary in medium - from printmaking to painting, software development to textiles, and even a music label. This show will feature all new works from current studio mates. The opening exhibition will have live performances from local bands Cool Ghouls, The She’s, Joseph Childress Band, Diko and Grace Sings Sludge. In addition, there will be live printing by studio mate and master printer Paul Mullowney, and a photobooth by Glass Coat Photo Booth. The opening reception is on Saturday, April 15th from 3-8pm and is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be open until April 28th, by appointment only.
The Treat studio space, also known as the Heinzer building, was purchased by Ernest Day Heinzer in 1952 for $4,000. The building was the first tilt-up building west of the Mississippi and was originally occupied by a wholesale baby furniture company. At the time Heinzer purchased the building a train ran through the backyard, receiving boxcars from manufacturers out of Massachusetts, which saved the company money on shipping. Ten years ago the company went out of business and the warehouse was converted into studios for artists and small businesses. Heinzer felt that it made sense to rent out the space, he likes helping people and has an interest in the arts. The group of artists and small businesses that currently occupy the building are a mix of individuals, inspired by one another, coming together in a loosely structured environment as friends and supporters of the arts.
