This two-day tour of public art and alternative art in the Bay Area takes place on two successive Saturdays. The first meeting explores public art and art galleries in downtown San Francisco, along the waterfront, and within Mission Bay.
The following Saturday the tour visits the burgeoning alternative gallery scene in downtown Oakland and continues to other East Bay gallery spaces. Discussion will focus on styles and issues in contemporary art, as well as the role of different venues and audiences in the global contemporary art scene.
