The Box Shop’s March Open House

Sunday, March 8th • 12–4pm
951 Hudson Ave, San Francisco
Free • Family-Friendly • All Ages

We invite you to explore The Box Shop, a large industrial artspace in Bayview, home to dozens of artists who build sculptures, metalwork, installations, and public art for the Bay Area and beyond.

In March we are hosting a Clothes Swap - a great chance to make space in your closet, release some clothes (or shoes or home goods) into the circular economy, and try some new looks.
Don't worry if you don't have surplus clothes - bring something for our potluck snack table, or just donate to support. There are always plenty of clothes left at the end!
Pull up a chair to the Art Table led by Hallie McConlogue:
"How to Hack your clothes, Tricks and techniques for how to hack your outfit into something that fits you perfectly and fits any century, country or imaginary world.Examples will be on display with an experienced clothing hacker/costumer. Hallie will be happy to show you what you can do at home: From hemming pants -to- gluing together a 7 foot fish costume -to- how to easily make custom corset patterns. Come have fun with shapes and materials... the easy way."
Hallie has been a professional sculptor for over 30 years. With a background in Costuming, wood, cad, Claymation, costuming, welding, theater and jewelry, there is no medium she hasn't enjoyed playing around in with people. More than anything she loves setting people free with their art.
