Stencil Nation Art Exhibit Sneak Peak

The walls are up for the Stencil Nation book release. For the out-of-towners who won’t be able to see the show, and for those who stopped by earlier in the day to check things out, I’m posting a few photos of the walls at Revolution Cafe. “Lenin in the house!” Al Kizziah and his sharp eye on straight lines saved my ass while setting up the show. I admit the show is DIY, down to the clips, tacks, and holey red wall. But I think the walls have a great narrative and that the different art mixed quite nicely.

7:30 PM
252 Fillmore St.

Fifty24SF Gallery is pleased to present Orchestrated Oddities, a group show featuring the work of three Bay Area artists: Brian Barneclo, Romanowski, and Sean Somers.

Somers examines the juxtaposition of nature and music through paintings and installation where he will create other-worldly, organic forms out of music-related materials.

Romanowski has made his name in the art and music worlds as artist, co-…
