Come see the Menagerie Collectives Winter Art Show. Founded in 2008 the Menagerie is a diverse group of artists bound by commitment to collaboration, higher artistry, and maintenance of artistic community. With this collective, the artists hope to achieve a greater dialogue (with each other and their viewers) about their artistic vision, its interaction with social forces, and the alchemy within collaborative spaces. Their work extends beyond the personal: it is informed by history, surrounding politics, cultural dynamics, and the unknown future. This winters exhibition features a menagerie of works crossing boundaries between painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and photography.

The 2009 Menagerie collective winter exhibition is on view at the Big Umbrella Studios; a perfect venue for such a group. Big Umbrella Studio’s space is for artists, makers, and doers to show, create, and share among memories of un-known and under used spaces and in the face of an ever changing Divisadero. The space exists because artists said it should exist and continue to. BUS seeks to establish a space molded by collective awareness of possibility through experiment, community involvement and an open door to the local society of urban artistic action and collaboration within the Western Addition.

Gallery hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 3pm - 8pm. Stop by and check out some great art!
