We're excited to partner again with Foodwise (formerly CUESA) for a farmworker awareness poster art pop-up at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturday, May 28th, between 9 am-1 pm.
Join us for a live screen-printing demo and poster giveaway in conjunction with the exhibition Turning the Table: Awareness for Farmworker Equity. See Project Artivism’s bicycle-powered screen printer in action and take home a free farmworker awareness poster designed by artist Oscar Lopez.
Poster art has historically brought attention to important social and political movements. With the help of artist’s messages and images these posters spark interest and move people to take action in support of cultural change.
The Matrix and the Handbills of the Haight: Recent Acquisitions

The Matrix and the Handbills of the Haight: Recent Acquisitions
Opening on Saturday, May 21
Haight Street Art Center recently received an exciting donation of a collection of handbills and postcards documenting the psychedelic era in San Francisco, the greater Bay Area, and Denver. One cache of handbills documents the Matrix, the Marina district folk club cofounded by the Jefferson Airplane's Marty Balin in 1965. Although the Matrix sponsored and was commemorated by posters, handbills were its principal means of advertising concerts, and six of those will be on display on the Art Center’s first floor through August1st, along with a selection of handbills showing how the psychedelic art of the Haight-Ashbury spread to the East Bay, North Bay, and South Bay, and across America.
