ARTHAUS - GARAGE GALLERY - SOMA ARTISTS STUDIOS M1 GALLERY - ISLAIS CREEK STUDIOS 10.26.07 ArtHaus Gallery: Carol Massa - Cocktails and Conversations. Comment: Not quite nonrepresentational paintings by Carol Massa, because if you give 'em a good look, you see the cocktails and conversations the show's title alludes to. How many cocktails and conversations you see may well depend on how much you've had to drink. Art. Art. Art. Art. Art. *** Garage Gallery at Embarcadero Auto: Open Studios.

Comment: Inaugural group show for an entity billing itself as Long Time Collective sports fresh energy and some pretty peppy product. There's basically something for everyone including urban, kinetic, digital, paint, photography, and more. Worth a visit. Not sure what the specs are on M1 Gallery, but it's a cherry space (if anybody knows anything, like maybe who runs it or whether they have a website, or if you wanna help caption the art, kindly drop me an email at artbusiness@artbusiness.com).

Comment: Haven't heard of this place before, so I take up the challenge and trek deep into the Bayview boonies. The building rennovation is in progress, individual studio spaces are currently under construction, the facility being designed with an emphasis on metal sculpture, but there are paintings and other types of art as well.
