I always try to add a new ArtHop stop to my itinerary, and on this night I decided to
stop by Studio 74 (1274 N. Van Ness Ave.) in the Tower District. Gallery owner
Diane L. Johnson-Mendes has transformed a little bungalow into a charming gallery that
is warm and inviting. Her emphasis, she told me, is on "emerging" artists. These are artists
just getting revved up in the art world. (And they aren't all necessarily young.)
As the band Suicide Lounge performed outside, I wandered through the small gallery and
admired the diversity of artistic styles. It's definitely worth an ArtHop stop.
This is a gallery that I know we'll want to look at more closely in the coming months.
