Mission Open Studios 2008 at Art Explosion Studios

 

Art Explosion Studios are home to more than 200 artists in the Mission district.  Every spring they gather together to have an open studios art show. When you climb the stairs of the old warehouse that houses the studios you don’t know what to expect. At the top you are met with a bright gallery setting with plenty of free refreshments and some of the best original art being made in the city. These shows are like walking tours with the artists there to give you a first hand explanation of their work while you get a chance to look at their studios and see how the art is made. The art ranges from recent art school graduates through accomplished professional artists with museum quality work. It is a great way to get a feel for what is happening on the front lines of the SF art scene and party with the artists. This event has grown through the years and promises to be the art show to see this spring.
