Kasper worked on our back wall today; he'll probably finish it next week!
Hop on the Bus...

Autumnal Equinox Celebration
"And the seasons they go round and round..." Far Out Gallery loves to celebrate the various turnings of the sun's cycle, whether birthdays, anniversaries, or our quarterly seasonal demarcation. Come on over tomorrow and we'll celebrate our change from summer to fall (officially at 1:02). Who knows, maybe Anne Autumn (Herbst) will perform a pagan ritual to honor in our new season...

Scenes from Guillermo Pulido's Opening
It was only a record-breaking 105 degrees in San Francisco yesterday for Guillermo's spirit-buoying opening. Even though Pulido's art filled the gallery with cool blues, we took little breaks and hit the alley out back for music and snacks. A joyous occasion!

Guillermo Pulido's Opening tomorrow 12-6 pm
Show runs Saturday, September 2 – Sunday, October 1, 2017
Pulido was born in Mexico and raised in San Francisco’s Mission district. He was active in the street art scene at a young age and studied at the San Francisco Art Institute where he gravitated to film, video and installation art. This exhibit explores time and place using photographs digitally enlarged—one mural-size—with Pulido’s poetic sensibility.

Harry Cohen Comes to Town
It was an exciting day at FOG. Harry Cohen and his pals drove down from Woodacre and unloaded our next show.
Lunch at Hong's after the delivery. These guys have been buddies for a long time. That's Peter, Skip, and Harry, and if you look closely, you can see Anne in the mirror.
Skip Henderson writes this about his pal:
Harry Cohen is as he paints – joyful, exuberant, buoyant, colorful, and bright. His studio is a work of art packed with canvases, colors, mobiles and stabiles. At age 92, Harry bounds around his studio without letting the spring in his step deflect the brushstroke he intends.
The opening reception for Harry's show will be this Saturday, August 5, 12-6 pm.
My Birthday Party
It was my birthday party.
We had cake and birthday cards.
They sang Happy Birthday to me.
This human (her name was Elena) claimed that it was her birthday too.
Happy Birthday, Carmen!
Carmen will be 11 years old tomorrow (Friday) so come by and give her a personal birthday greeting. We’ll be celebrating her from 4-6 with music, cake, and our accustomed bonhomie.
A Couple of Seals Swam in Today
See what we mean? As soon as two of Stephen Fox's birds flew out of the gallery, these two seals swam in.
A Happy Weekend
We had a great weekend at the gallery – we hope you had a good weekend, too! Stephen Fox's work is flying out the door, but as it disappears, he just brings more in.
