| Artists' Talk with Amy Franceschini and Wilson Diaz Artists' Television Access | Wed., December 3, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Amy Franceschini is a woman of abstract concepts about concrete matters -- especially food and land. Generally speaking, she promotes home gardening, in the spirit of familiarizing the public with the destructive practices of large-scale food production. The beauty of Franceschini is the wealth...

| Language of the Birds Columbus & Broadway | Sun., November 23, 4:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 We were just over in North Beach (to see Beach Blanket Babylon, which embarrassed us in front of a bunch of tourists — more on that later) and we didn't see any space at Columbus and Broadway that looked like a "new public plaza." The intersection seemed as crowded as usual, complete with... More >> |

| Sketch Tuesdays 111 Minna Gallery | Tue., November 25, 6:00pm | Union Square/Financial District | |
 "That would suck if the artists were bad." Such was the delicate reaction of one of our friends when we told her about the setup of Sketch Tuesdays. We told her not to worry, that the artists are always rad. The setup, in case you're wondering, is that artists sit around and let you watch them... More >> |

| "Assembly Instructions" Jack Hanley Gallery | Daily from Wed., November 19 until Sat., November 29 | South of Market | |
 Like Amanda Eicher's art constellation of names which enlivens the ceiling at Adobe Bookshop, "Assembly Instructions" is a flow chart of an exhibition, and very pretty. Artist Alexandre Singh's show was a "mid-month pick" by artbusiness.com's Alan Bamberger, but it's only up for another few... More >> |

| "Banned and Recovered: Artists Respond to Censorship" San Francisco Center for the Book | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Fri., August 15 until Wed., November 26 | South of Market | |
 Try to imagine the people so deeply offended by Harry Potter that they organized themselves, filed papers, lobbied politicians, and had that wizard brat banned from their public library. What the fuck is wrong with those people? Other freaks had The Color Purple, (Why? Too … good?) Tom... More >> |

| "Bobby Hutton Memorial Benefit Art Show" The Luggage Store | Daily from Sat., November 29 until Sat., December 6 | South of Market | |
 Rest assured that artist Emory Douglas’ images of protest are not based on experiences glimpsed from afar -- Douglas was the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party. His graphic art has the immediacy of a lobbed brick, from the boy selling Panther All Power to the People newspapers... More >> |

| "Carol Selter: The Personal Hiking Project" Gallery 16 | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Wed., December 31 | Potrero Hill | |
 As a society, we don't take enough walks. Carol Selter will take one for you. The artist asks people where they like to walk, takes their walk, arrives home refreshed, then packages that refreshment into a full-color book of photographs she snapped along the way, allowing faux-hikers to enjoy...

| "Flor de Manila y San Francisco" Market Street | Daily from Wed., October 1 until Fri., December 19 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Jennifer K. Wofford's drawings adorn streetside kiosks up and down Market Street; they are taken from her new graphic novel. "Flor de Manila y San Francisco" charts the progress and thoughts of a young woman, Flor Villanueva, as she moves from the Phillipines to the U.S. The pictures are deeply... More >> |

| "Fluke" Baer Ridgway Exhibitions | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., January 3 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 Artists who trade in found items often get lucky: An old photographic slide can decompose just so, producing a beautifully decayed image when printed. Berlin-based artist Wolfgang Ganter doesn’t leave it up to the elements. As a student working with recycled materials, he often came across... More >> |

| Recollections: Celebrating 30 Years of SCRAP Market Street Gallery | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Mon., November 3 until Tue., November 25 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Fine art made out of materials that would otherwise be thrown away is trendy right now, speaking to all of the ways we consume, live in the short-term, and scorn anything that isn't new. Local non-profit SCRAP was way ahead of the art trash curve; it's been promoting creative reuse since 1978.... More >> |

| "Moving Pictures" Varnish Fine Art | Last Wednesday of every month, 7:00pm | Union Square/Financial District | |
 At this month's episode of one of our favorite art galleries' "Experimental Film & Video Art Series," audiences are treated to screenings of new work by Bay Area women filmmakers.
