Artist Andrew Schoultz Studio Visit + Mural Opening and Fundraiser Info
Last week, I went to visit longtime friend and artist Andrew Schoultz at his San Francisco Mission District studio. After getting sneak peaks of some amazing new work in progress, we headed down the street to check out the large-scale mural he had recently completed at the home of world-renowned Architect David Baker. The staggering, intricately detailed mural covers the entire 60-by-11-foot wall of the restored carriage run of Baker’s entryway. My photos do not even begin to do this mural justice. You really have to see it in person to take it all in. It's absolutely stunning.
Baker, who is the founding partner of San Francisco-based David Baker + Partners Architects, is hosting an opening reception and fundraiser at his Mission District home on September 10. Fundraiser will benefit the Great Streets Project, which catalyzes the return of the city's streets as the center of civic life by working with government, business, and neighborhood leaders to test, analyze and institutionalize place making. Event will include beer, food carts, music, valet bike parking and the unveiling of the Great Streets Project presentation. Thu., Sep. 10, 6:00p.m.-9:00p.m. 337 Shotwell Street, S.F.

The Jensen family will surely be on the scene. Hope to see some of you there!
