Witness a select group of over 30 artists as they gradually transform Varnish Fine Art in the coming months during Project Wrecking Ball. This long-term art project is our response to the pending eminent domain demolition of the current Varnish location at 77 Natoma Street in downtown San Francisco. By continually changing the eviction/demolition date short-notice, the government agency in charge of demo (Transbay Joint Powers Authority) has blocked our ability to schedule further art shows as we have since opening over 6 years ago. Instead, a fabulous group of invited artists will leave their studios in the Bay Area and beyond to create artwork on-site throughout the main gallery for this on-going art event. The varied artwork will be created in paint, encaustic and photo-emulsion directly on the brick walls and on panels in addition to metal sculpture and kinetic art installations. Project Wrecking Ball will continue until the wrecking ball swings. The PWB painters and sculptors include: Jennybird Alcantara, Zoe Ani, Beth Bojarski, Vance Cearley, Albert DiCruttalo, Ezra Li Eizmont, Kevin Evans, Brian Goggin, Joshua Hagler, Ben Harris, Brad Isdrab, Sharon Leong, Michael Maes, Joel Mejia, Pierre Merkl III, Stephanie Morgan, Annie Owens, Michael Page, Rob Racine, Rob Reger, Karl Reichley, Dan Romo, Jeff Ross, Christian Rothenhagen, Reuben Rude, Lucien Shapiro, Sofia Sharpe, Dylan Sisson, Winston Smith, Kal Spelletich, Chuck Sperry, Kerri Stephens, Jon Wayshak, Shawn Webber, Sri Zeno Whipple and more!
