San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery: Lucky Day.

Artists: Michael Anderson, Gretchen Bennett, Spencer Finch, Euan Macdonald, Chris McCaw, Claude Zervas.

Comment: Artistic interpretations of various geographic locations, so lathered with license, you're not sure whether the art is more about the locations or the artists themselves. But maybe that's the point.
