To stage Clara Street Projects, participants cleared out the garage, built a series of reconfigurable, recyclable panels, painted the entire space, and installed new lighting. Each show was promoted through news media (online and in-print), online art calendars, postcards, and word of mouth. The turnout for all three openings was tremendous.


Clara Street Projects was made up of three exhibitions.“Part I: Transformations” featured work addressing the intersections of the natural and built environments. “Part II: Site and Situation” addressed the idea of art as cognitive remnant “Part III: Negotiations” explored the interplay between individuals and their surroundings.

Ways and Means:

In April of 2008, twenty-four student artists enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute staged an entirely self-produced show in a donated 1800 foot office space on Howard Street in SOMA. The project educated the group to the importance and intricacy of all aspects of exhibition planning including: long and short lead press releases, construction and event insurance, indemnification waivers for building owners and physical realities of building and filling a temporary gallery. The landlord who generously donated the space allowed us to tear down walls, put up drywall, eliminate drop ceilings, tear out carpet, add a fresh coat of paint and install custom lighting. In short, the group was able to create an exhibition space designed for its work. By all accounts the event was a huge success. An estimated five hundred people attended the opening reception and we received coverage in Sfweekly.
