The Red Poppy Art House - ProfilesArchive

About Me

The Red Poppy Art House is a working artist studio, gallery, classroom, and performance space. We are dedicated to providing an accessible and intimate experience of the arts. We are convinced that the joy and power of the arts lay in the creative process much more than in the creative product. We are committed to bringing that process into the public light. The Art House hosts interdisciplinary arts events, collaborative exhibitions, workshops, small concerts, and private parties.When it comes to an intimate experience of the arts the Red Poppy Art House is perhaps one of the most unique venues in the city. This little place (approx. 650 sq. ft.) in the corner of Folsom Street and 23rd Street in San Francisco has become a thriving center for interdisciplinary activity. It is often likened to small cafes found on the back streets of European and South American cities. During the week, the art house is an artist's work studio with paintings in progress and tarps and materials spread out around the room. By the weekend, it is transformed into a colorful candlelit concert hall, hosting an array of top caliber artists/performers from here and around the world. And can you believe that even the bathroom has over 15 original paintings and a printing press!

My Interests

Folks who want to stop by for a show, see some art, take a workshop, volunteer, network. You.

Note: The Red Poppy Art House does not book performers through Myspace. Please email [email protected] for more info.
