UPDATE: ARTCRANK SFO rolls on at CHROME Bags through Saturday, November 12. If you missed the show at 111 Minna GAllery, get down to Chrome to get your favorite posters before they’re gone. Check the map below for directions.
Coming as a surprise to no one, ARTCRANK San Francisco at 111 Minna Gallery turned out to be one of our greatest shows ever. We had a packed house all night long, as the Bay Area turned out in force to eyeball posters by 35 local artists, watch the pros sew up custom href=”http://www.chromebagsstore.com/” target=”_blank”>CHROME Bags and enjoy Widmer Brothers beer. A certain local mountain biking legend even stopped by for a look. Don’t believe us? Check the photos above for evidence.
A good time was had by all, and we raised some dough for San Francisco Bike Coalition in the bargain through ARTCRANK pint glass sales and a custom bag raffle. The SFBC works through day-to-day advocacy, education and working partnerships with government and community agencies to create safer streets and more livable communities for all San Franciscans.
