The Big Sad: Barry McGee & Clare Rojas
Riverside Art Museum
Exhibition Dates: March 30 - May 17, 2008
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 30, 2008, 4-7pm
Barry McGee and Clare Rojas have long been associated with the "Mission School", a loose collection of artists inspired by the culture of the street, particularly in the Mission District of San Francisco. Their works are often shown clustered together, mixing handcrafted paintings with scraps scavenged from the street and with photographs and other artwork found at thrift stores.
We're very pleased to announce we've acquired two new locations for the Phantom Galleries project in the SoFA District. We are grateful to the owners of the buildings for their participation which gives exhibit opportunities to our local artists and enlivens our district.
