Urban Bazaar-B-Q and party! Sunday, 29 July 2012

Down the hill from us in the Inner Sunset, the interesting and eclectic store Urban Bazaar (“Fair trade & locally handmade gifts“) is celebrating its second anniversary. They asked me to post this … they’re having an “Urban Bazaar-B-Q” and party!

The festivities will include:

  • Barbecue & beer from noon ’til we run out
  • Birthday cupcakes & treats
  • Live art by local artist Rick Kitagawa, all day

Free workshops & demos by local artists, including…

12:30-2 pm:  Terrarium Making demo with Brandi & a chance to make your own terrarium!
2-3:30 pm: Mustache on a Stick workshop with Briana!
All day: Fabric covered jewelry making with Stephanie Bolton of Since Sass, $5-10 materials fee

Where: Urban Bazaar, 1371 9th Ave., San Francisco
Contact: (415) 664-4422, Urbanbazaarsf.com

Sounds like fun. I looked up Rick Kitagawa. His website says, “I make paintings of monsters, illustrate creepy things, and make prints on the side as well!” (This lonesome Cthulhu is one of his pictures, which is also available, I think, as a t-shirt…)

Crafter Stephanie Bolton has a shop on Etsy, Since Sass. It’s got a whole bunch of handmade pouches and purses, but what she’s doing this time is fabric-covered jewelry.

Since Brandi of Urban Bazaar plans a terrarium workshop, I thought I’d put in this terrarium picture from their website.

Inner Sunset Fourth Fridays

I was sent this notice to share with everyone: “The Inner Sunset Merchants Association has decided to create a monthly after-hours event in the neighborhood, and we’re hosting our first one this month, on Friday June 22nd 2012.”

Since this neighborhood is just down the hill from us, it’s a nice thing to explore. I’ve always felt that our side of the city has too little going on after hours. This would be a welcome addition.

Explore the Inner Sunset after hours!

Enjoy specials, art exhibits, refreshments, and more from local businesses every fourth Friday of the month, starting at 6pm and ending between 9-10pm.

On June 22nd, some of the fun things to discover include the opening of a 2-week art show at Urban Bazaar (1371 9th Ave), with original artwork by local illustrator Nidhi Chanani (the picture above is one of hers), plus free refreshments; and a showcase of handcrafted jewelry from La Paz, Bolivia at La Paz Imports (1342 9th Ave).

Head down to the 9th & Irving intersection on the N-Judah and pick up a map of the businesses that are participating at any of the following locations:

  • Urban Bazaar- 1371 9thAve.;
  • Pearl Gallery- 839 Irving St; Blackthorn- 834 Irving St.;
  • Park Smile- 1244 9th Ave.

All venues (except 21+ only establishments), are family friendly.

Book Signing at Urban Bazaar: Nidhi Chanani, 29 June 2012

I received this heads up from Urban Bazaar, a charming little store on 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, just below Forest Knolls:

I wanted to let you know about another event we’re hosting at Urban Bazaar later this month. Local artist and Inner Sunset resident Nidhi Chanani will be putting on a 2 week art exhibit of some of her higher end art pieces at Urban Bazaar from June 23rd- July 8th, and we’re hosting a book signing with her and her new art print book on June 29th from 7:30-pm. Here’s the blurb:

San Francisco artist/illustrator Nidhi Chanani is taking the world by storm!

She recently won a “Champion of Change” award at the White House, and is publishing her second book of art prints in June. Urban Bazaar is one of only 2 locations where she’s holding a book signing event!

Come out to meet Nidhi, have her autograph your book or artwork, and check out some of her artwork that we don’t normally carry – wood burnings, framed prints, and more (which will be on display at Urban Bazaar from June 23rd- July 8th in a special exhibit).

There will be free refreshments, and we’ve heard tell of some kind of awesome giveaway for the first folks to purchase her book…!

Thanks,  Brandi
