Last Thursday, the Independent Arts & Media launched the San Francisco Arts Market, an open-air marketplace for local artists and businesses to sell their hand-crafted wares, including ceramics, clothing, jewelry, literature, music, paintings, photography, and wood-carvings.

The market, which was started in an effort to revitalize the arts community and cultural economy around San Francisco’s Civic Center, will take place every Thursday at U.N. Plaza from noon to 6 p.m. until the end of October.

The Office of Economic and Workforce Development, who are partners in the Arts Market SF venture, along with The San Francisco Arts Commission and Blick Art Materials, are making it their goal to organize a community event in U.N. Plaza every day of the week.

Artists, sign up now to participate.
