Save Varnish from the TJPA: Petition-Signing Rock-Out Event

Thursday, February 12th, 2009
7pm - 10pm

Enjoy extended Happy Hour all night and rock-out on Guitar Hero during our petition-signing event to save Varnish from the TJPA (Transbay Joint Powers Authority). For nearly 6 years, Varnish Fine Art has been a lively and vital part of San Francisco. This small business established by directors Kerri Stephens and Jennifer Rogers in 2003 helped to spark a revitalization of a once dangerous corridor of South of Market and is now a force in what has become the Yerba Buena Arts District. Varnish has nurtured the people of SoMA and SF by supporting artists, providing a space for SoMA workers to gather after work and as a place for community minded citizens to rally. Now, the TJPA threatens to extinguish this bohemian flame. The TJPA plans to kick Varnish out of 77 Natoma Street and threatens to deny this locally owned, women-owned and community minded business the ability to exist in SF at all. Please sign our petition to show the political powers of SF that this is not OK.

Admission is Free. Please bring ID, since we are a 21+ venue only.
