Join Art in Storefronts artists and property owners to learn about the Lion’s Den and the heyday of Wentworth Alley captured in Robert Minervini’s mural. Hear about the hungry visitors who try to enter Niana Liu’s faux-restaurant installation and how local merchants have embraced her. And find out how Leland Wong photographed 100 children in less than one month.
During the StreetSmARTS’s 2010 pilot year, seventeen murals were created throughout San Francisco and at six public school sites. The San Francisco Arts Commission’s 2010 photography interns captured every step. The outcome of their work is STILLmatic!
The fourth installment of the Art in Storefronts pilot program will launch in Wentworth Alley in Chinatown with a lively community event on Friday, June 11 from 5-7 p.m. The community celebration features live music by two groups: Diskarte Namin and the San Francisco Pacific Chinese Folk Music Group, and refreshments provided by local restaurants Z&Y, Four Seas, and Charles Phan of the Slanted Door (who grew up in Chinatown), as well as tea tasting provided by Vital Tealeaf.
