This week starts with blustery weather, good incentive for heading inside to see some art.

Hopefully the unseasonal moisture won't impede enjoyment of this month's art walks (First Thursday in SF Downtown Galleries and Art Murmur in Oakland on Friday as well as new contender - Temescal Summer Art Hop) and the first of three Saturday presentations of Allison Smith's "The Cries of San Francisco" on Market Street organized by Southern Exposure.

Check out SF artist Andrew Schoultz' NYC show review on AR below!

See you out there!
