The Potrero Hill Artists' Exhibition is purportedly the longest running annual art show in San Francisco. It was organized by the late Charles Farr and a group of neighborhood artists in 1955 to prevent the branch from imminent closure. Continuing their legacy and vision, Potrero Branch Staff are elated to host the exhibition for the 64th time in honor of our annual Open House. The night will include live music by The Sampaguitas during the first hour plus light refreshments, craft projects for young children, and the opportunity to meet the local artists while taking in the beautiful view. The exhibition will be on view May 3 – August 22.
