The 2727 Artist Co-op presents, "Street Encounters," an immersive exhibit portraying the emotional impact of life in the city, from sidewalk surfaces to distant skyline. The exhibition will run from May 8 to May 31, with an opening reception on Friday May 8th from 6:00-8:00pm at Gallery 2727, 2727 California Street, Berkeley, CA.  More information.

“Street Encounters” is a dynamic juxtaposition of visual works by the Co-op artists, a soundscape, and video installation used to evoke the clamor and isolation of the city. A public park with natural elements provides a brief respite. A wall and floor installation create opportunities for community participation and will evolve during the exhibit—a collage of printed matter, personal messages, mural images, and graffiti; a mix of streets, buildings, and other city elements. A rich calendar of events will include: workshops in constructing art from re-cycled materials, plein air sketching sessions, a costume party, and other events to celebrate our life in the city.

Gallery hours: Fridays 4-8pm, Saturdays & Sundays 1-5pm
