Market St Blooms Opening Reception
BRAF proudly announces our collaboration with the San Francisco Arts Commission in the installation of Karen Cusolito's Market Street Blooms at the U.N. Plaza, from her sculptural series Infinitarium, as part of SFAC's Art In Storefronts Project (AIS.)
In addition to debuting Cusolito's installations, Art in Storefronts, now in its second year, returns to Central Market with six storefront installations and five murals. The latest in The ARTery Project’s efforts to revitalize a once-vibrant commercial corridor, the project temporarily places original art installations by San Francisco artists in vacant and under-used storefront windows and exterior walls.
