We have made it through half the year of art fairs, exhibitions, and artists and are ready to tackle the new artists, studio visits, and a new program.

2011 Year in Review (Part 1)

Our January opening was so packed that we steamed the windows up, and people stuck around long after the party was over.
2011 has been a wild ride of a year for Hang Art. In addition to hosting twelve exhibitions at the gallery, we participated in three art fairs (in one month), went on a couple dozen studio visits, added seven new artists to the roster, and most importantly – connected wonderful people to quality artwork.
In case you missed all the excitement we have collected and concentrated 2011 into a year in review so big it needed to be split into two parts.
Visiting the Other Half of California

We have a great thing going on here in San Francisco and it is hard to not want to share it with others. So, every now and again we hit the road with a crate full of paintings and participate in various art fairs across the country. This January we are doing it again, although instead of the chilly East Coast we are headed to sunny Los Angeles California for the LA Art Show.
Home for the Holidays

A snapshot of our little forest in the gallery
Nothing is nicer than the calm that descends upon the city during the holidays as the shopping frenzy dies down and the city clears out. Whether you are staying in town, or hitting the road, we wish you a happy, creative, fun, and safe season.
We are going to be taking a little break ourselves. The gallery will be closed on on Saturday, December 24 & Sunday, December 25. We also will also be closed on Saturday December 31 & Sunday, January 1 as we celebrate the new year!
Even though the gallery is closed, you can always check out the artwork online at hangart.com.
And on the sixth day of Christmas my true love said to me… “I want THIS!”

One of Ann Eby's mixed media collage sculptures that dot her house
Before Hang Art opened it’s doors way back in 1998 we had the foresight to add Ann Eby to the galleries roster. Thirteen years later Ann is still challenging herself as an artist and creating mixed-media paintings. It had been too long since we payed her a studio visit so we hopped into the ZipCar and visited Ann at her Sunset neighborhood house and studio.

Up on the second floor.
Things have been busy the past month (in a very good way). So much so that we are going to compound three weeks worth of week in review posts into one massive month in review!

Operating outside the regular gallery programming, Hang Art Projects is simply another way for you to find the art you love in unique venues. Hang Art Projects expands on Hang Art’s founding tenants by showcasing the artworks of talented artists in diverse career points. And, of course, the new program still holds true to the honesty, approachability, and transparency you find at Hang Art.

One of our very own, Lacey Haslam is going to be exhibiting her tent sculpture, books, and prints at Kala Art Institute in an exhibition curated by Julio César Morales. Titled Cashing Out the exhibition, “focuses on artists’ interpretations of alternative financial systems in the context of the current economic climate.”
The show runs from October 27 to December 3, 2011 with an opening reception on Thursday, October 27 from 6-8pm.

Yes painting, make love to the camera.
Even though Hang Art does not exhibit photographs photography is a big part of our day to day at the gallery. Every single piece of artwork that we bring into the gallery is documented and placed online at hangart.com to be viewed by thousands of people daily.
