The North Beach art scene is more robust now than it has been in many a year. Throughout this historically bohemian neighborhood, you'll find painters, sculptors, authors, poets, filmmakers and street philosophers plying their passions in defiance of the gentrification paradigm -- and I can't believe I just used that word. That's a first and, I hope, a last.
You can celebrate their survival against the odds by checking out the North Beach Art Walk both Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Ground zero for this event, which being cosponsored by Art Span and the Telegraph Hill Dwellers, is probably the Fivepoints Arthouse at 50A Bannam Place, where the old Bannam Theater used to be. But art in its myriad forms will be blossoming all over the neighborhood for the next two days, in cafes and storefronts, in private studios, and in places as disparate as the Beat Museum and Coit Tower.
Check here to see the venues and what they'll be showcasing.
