About SUMMER OF LOVE During the summer of 1967, as many as 100,000 young people converged on Haight-Ashbury, making San Francisco the epicenter of the hippie revolution and a melting pot of music, psychedelic drugs, sexual freedom, creative expression, and politics. The year 2017 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love in San Francisco. The artists in this exhibition recreate and celebrate the amazing revolution that started in the Haight-Ashbury and Golden Gate Park and changed the world forever.

FEATURED ARTISTS NEW BOHEMIA SIGNS in the Project Gallery at Arc David Benzler Ashley Fundora

Patrick Piccolo Damon Styer New Bohemia Signs has been dealing exclusively in hand painted signs in San Francisco for a quarter century now, fully half of all the years since the Summer of Love, having been founded in 1992 by journeyman entrepreneur Steve Karbo, who insists that he owned the first shop to sell bell-bottomed jeans on Haight Street! We are designers and sign writers who appreciate the art of a good looking hand-painted sign, and want nothing more than to keep spreading their love with a brush.

FEATURED ARTIST HILARY WILLIAMS in the Project Gallery at Arc

BIO: Hilary Williams is an artist living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. She creates fine art screen prints on paper, mixed media paintings and illustrations in which she takes inspiration from her environments, the urban and natural landscapes and a fantastical imagination. Hilary received her BA in Printmaking from California College of the Arts.

STATEMENT: San Francisco has been the most influential city in my life and I love to celebrate all things about it. The wonderful Victorian architecture has always been a source of artistic inspiration to me as well as the landscape and landmarks of the city. I created pieces to compliment and contrast the urban qualities of this big little city with nature and floral motifs and subjects that speak to how I feel about San Francisco, its culture and people, from past to present.
