Open Studios in Noe Sept. 28-29

Looking for a painting or vase to add a bit of flair to your living space? Now’s the perfect time.

Six Noe Valley artists will be joining hundreds of others across the city in showcasing their work during this year’s SF Open Studios, running Sept. 19 to Oct. 13. Their portfolios will be on display in their home studios, lofts, or garages, and are available for purchase.

The works range from photography, sculpture, and mixed media to oil and watercolor paintings.

Now in its 50th year, the event is held on four weekends, each in a different part of San Francisco. The second weekend, Sept. 28-29, features Noe Valley and nearby neighborhoods Glen Park and the Castro, among others.

“SF Open Studios offers residents and tourists the free opportunity to engage directly with hundreds of local artists by visiting them in their studios, at galleries, during organized art pop-ups, and in other spaces reimagined to encourage direct creative engagement,” declares ArtSpan, the artist-run nonprofit that sponsors the event.

Here is a list of Noe Valley participants:

Erin Hupp, ceramics, 3751 24th St. erinhuppceramics.com

Judith Klain, painting, 462 Clipper St.
