After 33 years of Open Studios program in SF, the weekend stretches out to “weekends 1 through 5,” and the amount of artwork on view approaches gazillions. Starved for art? (Are we ever in SF? Of course, we are—the more you binge the more you crave, right, addicts?) Immerse yourself. Last weekend, Fort Mason featured dozens of artists displaying their photography, prints, paintings, drawings, mixed media, jewelry—in addition to home studios in other neighborhoods—Buena Vista, Diamond Heights, Haight, Hayes Valley, Marina, Mount Davidson, Pacific Heights, Richmond, Sunset, Twin Peaks, West Portal. Half of the fun is viewing art in the presence of an artist. Some artists look like their artwork—no, I don’t mean self-portraits—some couldn’t have been more different. One is left to wonder how many layers a human psyche actually has… Don’t miss next weekend, Oct. 18 and 19, and the two weekends after that.
