Closing night :(
Gene X.

So sad that Varnish is closing but went for their final night and it was a good time. While there was barely any art left on the walls, it was more a time to chat with fellow creative folks and I got to meet a friend of a friend and we bonded a bit over the fantastic curation efforts that the folks at Varnish have built their reputation on. Looking forward to see where they land and if you like to see what's happening in the art scene, definitely keep track of what they are doing (Facebook page is the best way for now... http://www.facebook.com/varnishfineart)

See all

Cool gallery space. Would work well for an event or private party (I think they're pretty open to that).

Came here for a friend's going away party. Cool, very cool. Spacious and art to ponder as you drink your cares away.

Open space downstairs that alllows people to move (and get at the bar!) without too much congestion.

Union Square, Tenderloin

San Francisco has always had a great art scene for decades. San Francisco would not be San…read moreFrancisco without artists. The art scene has evolved and some moved into the digital universe. What is even better is seeing creators from around the world come to San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference. I attended the "To the Supercell Game Changers Women Driving The Industry Forward" event at Chandran Gallery around the Union Square area of San Francisco . It's good to see the diversity of people from different countries like Finland and Germany developing games for the masses and growing their brand. I also enjoyed the space which had delicious food like sushi and an open bar with wine , curated alcoholic drinks and music to enhance the experience . A good art gallery space to see art and to attend events. The event was multidimensional and influential. The good vibes inside are contagious and the gallery space is very spacious A space for artists to display art which is courageous and audacious

I thought this was a wonderful idea because you will have a limited number of people during your selected time. I lucked out and was the only person in my time slot, so I had the whole exhibit to myself. I was able to take all the pictures I wanted and spend time in this beautiful, immersive piece. I've been here once before coincidentally for the same artist without the reservation times and we definitely had to wait for other people to be done so we could take our pics. It's hard to tell when you're at an exhibit and want to take pictures with out strangers in them.

Park Life - Park Life steals from real artists. You can tell these are not people who actually care about art, just dollar signs.

Seeing a celebration for the area code of the city…read moreof San Francisco has been always part of growing up especially during my High School years at Mission High school which happens to be tallest building in front of the Dolores Park. Yes having Dolores Park as your school yard and the place to spend your lunch period and some after school activities was happening all four seasons of the year not just on April 15 or 4/15 now also known as 415 day. The corporations and other entities start capitalizing on some underground fun. Now it's celebrated throughout San Francisco with people wearing items and gear which has something San Francisco on it. How I still celebrate it is going to a park in San Francisco with a favorite adult beverage currently it's a bottle of Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. Whether Dolores Park or Golden Park you can represent all four seasons in San Francisco by visiting that Park Life. On an April stroll in San Francisco finding where to park on Clement street can sometimes be a challenge in San Francisco. You can see people camping out for parking spots on Clement street ( like at Costco in SF). Park Life is a store on Clement street between 3rd and 4th Avenue which has items with themes of San Francisco. You will find art and stationaries. You will also see bags ,clothing, and hats with San Francisco on it that don't look like you picked it up at a souvenir shop at the Tourist trap in SF. You will also find some interesting books inside. There is a small art gallery in the back of the store . This is a good place to get a treat for yourself or grab a gift for others and have fun at a local San Francisco park . Whether it's Golden Gate Park, Duboce Park, McLaren Park, Mount Davison Park, Sue Bierman Park, Lafayette Park, Precita Park, Bernal Heights Park, Alamo Square Park, Washington Square Park, Dolores Park, Franklin Square Park, Presidio Tunnel Tops Park or Glen Park , etc. This place in San Francisco is all about that Park Life. Born and raised in San Francisco I am straight out the"golden gates "to me it's always San Francisco and I only call it the other term which is SF I am not the one who "participates "calling San Francisco different nicknames on social media or in person"debates" I just know San Francisco is the best city in the "United States" Go take a stroll to San Francisco by the Pacific Ocean and not the" Hormuz Strait" to the day I like to "celebrate" in San Francisco on April 15 also known as 415 but there is also another" date " I partake which is on June 28th also known as the other San Francisco area code the "628"
