Comment by AB: This eclectic group show features the textile art of Uri Tzaig produced in collaboration with the Bedouin women of the Negev Desert. The fare ranges from whimsical to urban to classic. A great setting for a gallery; more hotels should think about doing this.

Comment by AB: This month's three-fer, a solo self-portrait show of work by Frank Yamrus, a group portrait show juried by David Hilliard, and an APA SF (American Photographic Artists San Francisco) group show juried by Ann Jastrab, coalesce into a diluvian deluge of photographs by profuse oodles of photographers. Pick and choose what works for you... that is, if you don't drown in it all first.

Coalition on Homelessness at SOMArts: 11th Annual Art Auction - Transforming Art into Action... Many Voices, One Community.

Comment by AB: "The Coalition on Homelessness is a grassroots social justice effort seeking to foster the active participation of homeless and formerly homeless San Franciscans in the struggle for economic and social justice." Over 120 works of art are up for auction tonight in support of the cause. Celebrity auctioneer, Aaron Peskin, has a natural talent for wringing bids out of the audience while keeping them simultaneously entertained. One SF fundraiser that's always worth attending.
