The festivities include receptions at three neighborhood galleries, the debut of two temporary public art sculptures by Karen Cusolito (made possible by Black Rock Arts Foundation:
www.blackrockarts.org), live music lining Central Market, and Off the Grid food trucks. The community celebration will kick off with the unveiling the six storefront installations and five murals designed by San Francisco artists.
Gamelan X, a Balinese fusion ensemble, will lead a procession up Market Street where the public may catch performances by the John Brothers Piano Company* playing original music accompanied by several other visual and performing artists; the Jaz Sawyer Trio; and the Space Cowboys DJ Collective performing on their hi-tech mobile sound system called The Unimog at U.N. Plaza. The public may also play on "Bulbous," a temporary wall of drums created by Office Division.
Activities on U.N. Plaza will continue 'til 8 p.m.
