'Gray Area Gallery Presents: "SUGAR SUGAR" Winter Installation!'










For There is something about December. Something about the crisp air and something about the warm feelings it conjures up. December becomes that heartbeat we feel while walking down a cold and windy street and makes us feel at home, even while so many are so far from it…

This December 8th the Gray Area Gallery welcomes you into our home to celebrate December and our interpretation on the nostalgia of winter. Curator Catherine Kaleel invites you to gather around the fire and witness the tales of her favorite San Francisco artists. An emphasis on textile and fiber art, embroidery, appliqué, and even stuffed animals will take the stage created by a myriad of urban contemporary mixed media artists. Decoupage, illustration, and installation also provide stark landscapes that mimic what the weather brings to our artists along with the warmth of their winter shelters and fuzzy sweaters.
