OCTOBER 25 & 26: NORTH BEACH ANNUAL ART WALK AND OPEN STUDIOS

North Beach Art Walk sponsered in part by ArtSpan and The Telegraph Hill Dwellers

October 25 & 26, 11 am to 6 pm

Fivepoints Arthouse will be showcasing several works from local north beach resident artists, as well as work by our founders, Jason Bryan, Erik Parra, and Jessica Laurent, as well as work from Noah Ptolemy and Alex Madrigal. On Saturday, October 25, we will screen films from Telegraph Hill's own Judy Irving: "19 Arrests, No Convictions," a film about a legendary Italian-American bar owner who redeems himself as a San Francisco Bay open-water swimmer, "escaping" from Alcatraz to the mainland; and
a SNEAK PREVIEW of new sequences from the double-disc "Wild Parrots" Collector's Edition DVD, which will be released nationally Oct. 28th. Screenings will be held 4-6pm Saturday and Sunday. Director Judy Irving will be around to answer questions.

To help increase foot traffic in our neighborhood during the weekend of ArtSpan's Open Studios, and, to create an opportunity for more artists to participate, THD's Art & Culture Committee is organizing an art walk and inviting participation of all artists and merchants in North Beach.



Artists are included on a map along with everybody participating in the Art Walk and/or the Open Studios.

Businesses and storefront owners are lined up to showcase an artist's work or, lend their empty storefront window for that weekend.



This event is not limited to visual arts. It features poets, writers, and musicians!
