San Francisco Art Openings: Future Primitive Sound Gallery

ODD FELLOWS HALL
PAINTS THE TOWN; THIRD ANNUAL SALE
OPENING 09.24.04

Comment: The Odd Fellows Hall is the prefect venue for this quirky, delightful, congenial, laid-back annual show and sale. Particpating artists appear to be selected based on whether or not they know artist Richard L. Perri, a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Yerba Buena Lodge No. 15, who also maintains a studio on the premises. The artists transform the place from meeting hall to rambling room-by-room art gallery, installing temporary walls to block windows, and covering the billiard tables.

The result is an indoor "outdoor art fair" of sorts, with each artist bequeathed adequate wall space to display a decent selection of his or her work. As one would expect, considering the entry requirements, the art is a mix, the artists ranging from somewhat-known to well-known, including a handful of venerables like Paul Wonner, Terry St. John, and Theophilus Brown. Add poetry, music, comedy(?), dance, a smattering of edibles, and other miscellaneous festivities, and there you have it. A portion of the proceeds benefits Rebekah Children's Services.
