Get in on the ground floor of the next SF art movement at this public showcase for local talent, with past exhibits ranging from Susan O'Malley's silk-screened words of advice from San Franciscans to rock photographer Jim Marshall's iconic shots of Jimi and Janis. Beyond gallery exhibitions, the commission also shows art in City Hall and in an empty storefront at 155 Grove St.
