SF’s “Box Shop” Open House: Mother’s Day Edition w/ 130+ murals

The Box Shop is a collaborative maker space and studios focused on metal and industrial arts. During our Open House, we open up for the public to get to know the space, the art, and the artists that make up The Box Shop community!

There will be a fun painting activity station for you to decorate hearts and stars to make a great Mother’s Day gift!

*Live Music!*
Live music performances by Charith Premawardhana from Classical Revolution on viola and Jon Lee on piano 1 – 3 pm.

*Check out 130+ murals!*
The Box Shop has commissioned local artists to paint over 130 murals throughout the exterior and inner yards. This is one of the largest open-air mural art exhibits in the Bay Area! Take a photo with or for your mom with some of these gorgeous paintings!

*Explore where colossal art is born!*
Monumental art pieces are created at The Box Shop. Some become public art installed locally and around the U.S. – such as Entwined Meadow (installed in Golden Gate Park in the winters of 2020-2022). The Box Shop is also a hub of the Burning Man arts community. Dozens of Burning Man sculptures and art cars were created at The Box Shop. See for yourself the space, the machinery, and the tools that make this art possible!

*Enjoy the sculpture garden!*
Our succulent garden is home to gorgeous plants both natural and manmade!

*Meet the artists!*
The Box Shop hosts metalworkers, stone carvers, seamstresses, painters, woodworkers, sculptors, bicycle engineers, electronic car producers, and more. Take this opportunity to talk to a few of The Box Shop artists about their art!
