August 1, 2009, San Francisco - You are invited to attend an artists reception on Saturday, August 8, 2009 at The Barber Lounge from 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm.
The Barber Lounge is located at 854 Folsom between 4th and 5th. This is the largest show to date at the Barber Lounge. With 5,400 square feet of loft space, the Barber Lounge is picture-perfect to feature every kind of artwork.
This invitation-only event is a celebration of original artwork by 18 of San Francisco ’s brightest. The art will be on sale through October 2009, with patrons receiving 10% off all purchases during the party.
The Barber Lounge is pleased to showcase the work of local emerging talent including limited edition prints by Hillary Williams, whimsical sculpture and oil paining by Michael Carlos Finn, figurative, photorealist and abstract art, as well as large scale graphite drawings and wax encaustics.

“Our devotion to art is genuine and fierce. We reviewed scores of talented artists ultimately choosing those who represent aesthetic diversity and demonstrate the most distinctive voices,” says artist and show curator Georgianne Fastaia.
In a timely hats-off to Michael Jackson, the show is called “Off the Wall,” and features artwork by the following artists: CARLOS MICHAEL FINN, GABRIELLE GAMBOA, GEORGIANNE FASTAIA, TRY SERINO, DAVE OTTO, OWEN GERONIMO, EVE SHEN, JUNE LI, KEVIN PINCUS, LIZ MAHER, JIM WINTERS, MANNY FABREGES, CAMERON CHERNOFF, HILLARY WILLIAMS, KELLY REILING, JEFF PAUL RILEY, CECILIA WELDEN, and LEYE FELECITE TCHACO.
Since opening its doors nearly three years ago, the Barber Lounge has consistently provided support and space on its loft walls to the local artist community. “The economy has no stronghold on creativity,” says Barber Lounge owner Greg Griffin. “To the contrary, these tough times have often led to great artistic expression and we are proud to highlight that talent at the Barber Lounge.”
The Barber Lounge was recently voted San Francisco ’s #1 Salon in San Francisco Weekly’s “Best of San Francisco ” Readers Poll.
