Hayes Valley Art Works: A Community Creation Space
By Kaylee Fagan
Hayes Valley Art Works, a “community creation space,” was erected on historic Parcel O on the corner of Fell and Laguna streets, in Hayes Valley. Artists, students, neighbors and families come to “the Works” to create and appreciate visual and performance art, as well as study permaculture, ecology, and urban design with creator and Director Jay Rosenberg.

Participatory Art Workshop with Sonja Hinrichsen – Saturday, May 21st
Participants of all ages are invited to join local artist Sonja Hinrichsen for an interactive workshop to create a piece of public art to be displayed at Hayes Valley Art Works.
“I hope that my works help arouse appreciation and consciousness for the natural world. Modern society is becoming increasingly disconnected from nature. I believe, however, that for a successful future of humanity it is essential that we re-gain a greater awareness of our planet’s life and tune ourselves in with the natural world, understand it better and take better stewardship thereof.”
Learn more about Sonja’s work at www.sonja-hinrichsen.com
Space will be limited, and registration will open on Thursday, May 12th. More details will be available at that time – stay tuned!

You are also invited to get your hands dirty in our drop-in hand building studio, and for a donation can get your work fired too. Bring the kids, bring the crafty, and bring a picnic to hang out awhile.
