The Cataclysmic Megashear Ranch
by Mauricia Gandara, Edited by Lisa Pimentel, Photos by Pernilla Persson & Ranch Archival
“The Cataclysmic Megashear Ranch, or simply the Ranch, started as a live-work space in the late 90’s in the heart of San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood. In 2000, the Ranch reopened its doors as a collective and an art studio. Since then, countless artists, makers, writers, performers, musicians, and other creative engineers buildt the Ranch into a one-of-a-kind, irreplacable community.”

Today I had my work delivered to Gary Francis Fine Art in Alameda. I am curious and am looking forward to see the show hang on the walls.

This cute little island across the bay has changed immensely, for the better I believe; with new boutiques, eateries, organic food stores and gallery opportunities!

This is my second show in Alameda this year and it feels good to come back!
I love it here 🙂  it actually was here I found my first apartment on the West Coast.

Opening Friday, August 8th, between 6-9pm.

I hope you will be able to stop by and view my work. The exhibition lasts to September 7th, so… plenty of time to come over and look at art and enjoy this pearl of a place.

Address: Gary Francis 1419 Part Street, Ste E, Alameda, CA
Gallery Hours: Thursday 11-5pm  |  Friday 11-7pm  |  Saturday 11-7pm  |  Sunday 11-5pm
