August is almost here with the dog days of summer. We've searched every corner of the city to find you a list of openings, lectures, screenings, and performances that can bring you to art and good times.

This is also a great time to let you know that if you are in an art event or are hosting an art event, we would be happy to list it! Just submit your event using our form at www.artcards.cc/submit/ and will post it to the site as long as we receive it at least a week in advance (and, of course, it must be an art-related event).

Thursday brings a new opening from Jack Hanley Gallery, while Friday has interesting shows at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Park Life. In the East Bay, check out Alphonse Berber Gallery. Stay tuned for an Artcards sponsored event coming soon!
