Yerba Buena Summer Gallery Walk gives those of us who missed the First Thursday extravaganza another chance to see it all -- or at least these participating galleries.  And if you are looking for an art viewing event that's a little more unusual, head to the sure-to-be-vibrant Art in Storefronts series making its debut in SF's Chinatown this week.

If you are interested in the intersection of art and urban infrastructure then be sure to check out the exhibition of MIT's Media Lab at the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts and the various events accompanying it.

Other good looking art openings include: Silverman Gallery, Ping Pong Gallery, Ampersand International Arts, and a closing at Sight School.

Gallerists: Take advantage of our free image feature when you submit an event to the Artcards.cc website! (In the future there will be a charge for this feature.)
