Upcoming Art & Fashion Events
September 20, 2007

If you are looking for some interesting evening events for the upcoming weeks, here are a couple that may appeal to the artist or fashionista in you.

Nemo Gould’s “Waste Deep” Exhibit

Nemo Gould is the latest artist to complete the Artist In Residence (AIR) Program hosted by the SF Recycling & Disposal Center. His work, made by recycled metals and other refuse materials, will be on display on Friday, Sept. 21st from 5-8pm and Saturday, Sept. 22nd from 1-5pm. The studio is located at 503 Tunnel Ave. in San Francisco and admission is FREE.

The AIR Program aims to encourage reuse through creative and inspiring art. The Center provides local artists with access to collected materials, studio space and monthly stipend for a termed residency. These artists not only work on their craft but also conduct tours about “the experience of turning trash to treasure”. An exhibit is held to display the artist’s work at the end of the residency and many of these pieces find permanent homes in the garden of the Center’s Transfer Station for all to enjoy. For more information about the program, exhibits or any of its previous and upcoming artists, please visit AIR.

Eco-Chic Shopping Event

If you are looking for some new pieces for fall (after combing through the consignment and thrift shops), Appel & Frank is hosting a Eco-Chic Shopping Event on Thursday, Sept. 27th from 5 to 9:30pm at the Regency Center in San Francisco. Admission is $10 and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Friends of the Urban Forest. The event will include 65 designers but only some of them are organic, sustainably made or earth friendly. Eco- friendly designers include Anna Cohen, Del Forte Denim and Ecogirl. You can browse the full list of designers and the eco-friendly ones are listed in (what else) green.
