Beginning January 2020, the art compound Minnesota Street Project is donating an annex for TheArtReport.org programmed by a cooperative group of Bay Area-based contributors.

Free public events are hosted every Wednesday evening from 5-8pm in January and February unless otherwise noted. The living list of organizers include Aleesa Alexander, Colpa Press, Graham Dalik, Zachary Lara, Nancy Lim, Bob Linder, Nion McEvoy Jr., Micki Meng, Perrin Meyer, Michael Svendsen, Ben Tear, and Wendy Chien. A bar is designed Jesse Schlesinger and Jay Palmer, a neon by Mungo Thomson animates a front-facing window, and a sound system is provided by Meyer Sound. The space will otherwise remain an artist lounge during regular hours. We also thank Minnesota Street Project, Andy and Deborah Rappaport, Julie Casemore, Brion Nuda Rosch, and Michael Rubel.

Please e-mail info@andartand.org to set up a call time.
