Artcards San Francisco Weekly Update

Dave Muller comes to town (more specifically to Anthony Meier Fine Arts) with his cool moves, not to be confused with local artist/restaurateur Dave Muller of Outerlands.

Smooth moves are needed to navigate this week's hot art options that span all corners of the Bay as galleries settle into their summer programing with last spurts of activities.

David Wilson, of underground art happening fame, is bringing his art/experience/participation art practice to the Berkeley Art Museum's MATRIX Gallery. David Wilson has also taken the reins of their L@TE evening programs, so stay tuned as they appear in this great weekly digest.

If the World Cup is not dominating your schedule, then take advantage of the Headlands Center for the Arts Summer Open House. Avoid the hubbub of Sunday's final game by driving or biking to this destination art residency of high-caliber artists.

See you out there.... and be glad you don't live in NYC (102 deg. today!).
