The Live Art LABoratory is part of the The Living LABoratory, a residency & installation by Lise Swenson. During August and September a
team of Mission artists are investigating and excavating the neighborhood,
bringing back artifacts, documentation and artworks to create a
site-specific environment that, in conjunction with gallery hours,
will host the Live Art LABoratory

Thursday, September 12, 7-9 PM
Gallery hours: Wed-Sat 1-6 PM
