Gallery of the Week - Secession Art & Design This gallery is located on 3235 Mission St close to Caesar Chavez, just beyond the Mission District. They sell clothing in the front of the store with a large art gallery space in the back where they curate shows featuring local artists. Secession Art & Design opened their Mission Bernal location in August of 2007, and has since grown to represent over 70 independent artists and designers. Their retail location is a gallery, boutique, and workspace combined; creating an untraditional storefront that allows customers to experience curated shows by owner, Eden Stein, and see the process of art being made in-house by Heather Robinson. They have an online shop where you can view some of the artists they represent along with some of their art available for purchase. Summer show opening this Friday from 6-9pm featuring @eddiecolla Jeremy Novy and Scott Fin Secession Art & Design's Summer show, Underground, features Eddie Colla, Jeremy Novy, and Scott Fin, three artists that use the urban landscape as their canvas. Over the past year, I have been following both Eddie and Jeremy on social media, watching them travel and create street art that inspires conversation. From koi fish that magically appeared on the sidewalk in front of Ichi Sushi in Mission Bernal to art going up in Mexico and Paris, I found myself so in awe at how, in these different environments, people are living with and reacting to art in the public space. Scott's photography takes us on a journey through tunnels with graffiti artists painting with light or above the city in a small plane, then printing these images onto street signs. All three artists produced an amazing show that brings art from the outside in and allows you to own a piece of street history.
