ONE NIGHT STAND  |  GREGORY SIFF  |  SAN FRANCISCO

Live Art + Pop-Up presented by Term of Art & Arts Fund @ STANZA 3126 16th Street, San Francisco, CA

Friday Jan. 25th

7-9pm  "ONE NIGHT STAND" 

Musical Mix and Visuals by Gregory Siff 

"One Night Stand" is a tribute to the major concerts of my life. These hand painted recreations of posters from shows like Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Stone Temple Pilots, Billy Joel and The Rolling Stones include the teenage point of view I had when I first heard the music. Painting these gave me a chance to revisit moments of pure happiness and freedom. This show will happen for just one evening. I hope you can join me. -Gregory.©©©

Opportunities for creative workers

At The Rocks Pop-up, we are always on the look out for great opportunities available for the creative workers out there. Underbelly Arts is currently seeking expressions of interest for larger-scale new works and developmental projects that require longer lead times for the 2013 Lab and Festival. This round of EOIs is only for large scale or ambitious projects that can demonstrate they need a significant lead-time to deliver the work. It's a new initiative that will run alongside our general 2013 artist call out, scheduled to open early next year.

Sounds like something you'd like to do? Find out more info here.

The fantasyland that is the Allied Arts Council's annual Arts Fund video is a single-shot amalgamation of a microcosm inside a Russian nesting doll wrapped in 1/4 of a downtown block.

Whew, that is a potently tiny atmosphere. Like Horton Hears a Who, except all the Whos are shouting the second act of La Boheme, then Bob Shultz flutters by.

How often do you see on the streets of St Joe, steel drummers, violinists, a dance troupe, roller derby girls, a dapper tandem bike couple, and Bob Shultz fluttering by?

A sight like that only happens two times a year, at best. (Maybe more if Magoon's Mushroom Fest was successful.) So donate to the Arts Fund if you have the means, if not, no sweat. But don't be surprised when Bob Shultz flutters by your window groaning "the arts are essential!"
