“Makers, Music & Mimosas”: Free Creative Workshops & Live Music | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Whether you fancy yourself an artist, or have two left thumbs when it comes to creative production, you can try something new – from ceramics, to fortune telling, to silkscreening – alongside some of the Bay Area’s most talented emerging artists at Makers, Music & Mimosas for an afternoon of creative workshops and live music on Saturday, September 17, 2016.

Free, but an RSVP is required.

Eight “makers” exhibiting in The SF Foundation & SOMArts’ Annual Exhibition will lead a free afternoon of creative workshops. They say orange is the color of creativity, so mimosas will be served by a cash bar.

Regardless of your skill level, you must bring to the worktable a sense of adventure– you’ll find out your two workshop assignments when you arrive. They’ll try to honor at least one of your preferences.

Here’s the full order of operations:

• Step 1 (right now): Register on Eventbrite. Make yourself a note to arrive by noon on the day of the event to be guaranteed a schedule.
• Step 2 (by 12 pm): Check-in to the SOMArts lobby to receive your two workshop assignments, chosen at random. If your workshops don’t appeal to you, do what you were never allowed to do in school: grab a drink & swap schedules socially with other students before the bell rings. Also, spend some time with the art in the gallery.
• Step 3 (12:30 pm): The bell rings for the first of two 30 minute workshop sessions.
• Step 4 (1 pm): Following a short break for socializing and refreshments, enjoy live music in the gallery and check out the art exhibition.
• Step 5 (1:45 pm): The bell rings for the second 30 minute workshop session.
• Step 6 (2:15 pm): Workshops close, but the cash bar is open until 3 pm for you to refresh your drinks, stroll through the gallery and enjoy a second set of live music.
