FILM: Explore the questionable world of anti-graffiti vigilantism with the new documentary, Vigilante Vigilante, which follows Berkeley's Jim Sharp and other anti-graffiti zealots who "stop at nothing to rid their neighborhoods and cities of street art, stickers, tags, and posters," even if it means illegally and destructively painting other people’s property. There's a Kickstarter page for the film, if you feel inclined to donate.
7:30 to 11:30 p.m. // Big Umbrella Studios (906 1/2 Divisadero Street)
BENEFIT: A couple dozen artists have rallied together to help a friend in need at the Root Canal art show. Tooth problems are the worst, and the beneficiary has needed a root canal for over a year. We can all relate -- who can afford dental care these days? All sorts of art will be for sale at reasonable prices, including jewelry, photos, paintings, prints, and drawings. Help a brother out, won't you?
