GAFFTA Documentary and Opening October 1, 2009 in SF

Our friends over at Grey Area Foundation for the Arts are launching big on October 1 in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district with their new media space and an initial exhibition with Camille Utterback, Casey Reas and Stamen Design. Barry Threw, who runs Overlap Salons, like the upcoming Sept 2 one at UC Berkeley’s Center for New Media, with Vlad Spears is involved with GAFFTA. Its great to see such growth in the San Francisco Bay Area in the similar realm to Overlap.org.

Barry posted up the nice documentary that GAFFTA just released about their mission and the upcoming exhibition launching on October 1. Check it out:
