Apparently we missed Mayor Newsom, but when we stopped by the Art in Storefronts opening on Friday, October 23rd the party was still going strong.

HANG ART artist Phillip Hua
HANG ART artist Phillip Hua was one of a handful of artists selected to transform a vacant storefront into a work of art.
His piece, titled Consider It, will evolve over the course of time to increase environmental awareness. The near vacant space features a clock, set to the eleventh hour, accomponied by a chair with the words “Stand-Up” stenciled on it.

Considerate - Consider It
The top of the storefront had the phrase, “The Time is Now,” serving as a friendly little reminder that a little action goes a long way.
You can check out the installation yourself at 984 Market Street in San Francisco, right next to The Warfield Theater. Just be sure to hurry, after all, “the time is now.”
