2011 and 2010 Memories

Elizabeth and Steph on their two wheelers

South Park Arts is now the proud owner of a giant work of art called the Panhandle Bandshell. While panhandle means something different to us here in South Park…  it was designed and built for Panhandle Park in San Francisco by San Francisco’s Rebar Group.  It is now in storage at Seidelhuber Iron & Bronze Works here in South Park, and we need to form a siting committee to find a permanent home for it here.  Because of its size and function, there are only a few options… but we need a dedicated team to weigh the options and do some outreach in terms of feasibility and practicality.  After that we can form another team to “get ‘er done”!

If you ever felt like you wanted to be more involved, but didn’t want to over-commit, this is a good opportunity to participate and have a hand in shaping what happens in South Park — contact us to get involved at info [at] southparkarts.org!

If you’re a South Parker, you’re mighty aware of this neighborhood icon. It’s a beaten down, funky piece of historical treasure, now modified into a modern design and all colored up. We’ve got T-shirts (lots of larger sizes this year), warm zipper hoodies and a limited quantity of beautiful aprons. The unique color combinations are super striking–Check em:
