Expressin' in the Central Market District

Today wrapped up the Central Market Arts collaborative "24 Days of Central Markets Arts" program which featured works of many local artists in this ever developing artist community.

On Friday I had a chance to make it down there to attend non-profit Urban Solutions second annual "2 Blocks of Art" walk which showcased works of artists and performers on 6th Street between Market & Howard.

Lots to see and things to do. Like at Launderland where the two talented chaps in this photo were playing; or the chance to artistically express yourself hosted by Club Six; and the very San Francisco art of Richard L. Perri who I had the pleasure to reminisce with about some of San Francisco’s old java-huts and watering-holes while enjoying his exhibit inside the soon-to-be open Pearl's Deluxe Burgers where owners Sylvia and Young provided a taste of what's to come to 6th Street with their most excellent selection of milkshakes!

So if you didn’t make it down there this year keep your eyes open for next year’s calendar of events. It’s only getting better in the Central Market district. If you want to see more photos of my trip down 6th Street click here – and speaking “expressin'” listen here!
