Thanks to Art Walk SF, the Castro recently did what it does best: Showed the rest of The City how to have a good time.
Established by Cynthia Huie, Ixchel Acosta, Suzie Ferras and Lauro Gonzalez in January, Art Walk SF was created to celebrate San Francisco’s diverse and abundant art, music, food and small businesses with first-Saturday walks. Not all Art Walk SF stops will include street closures. In fact, the Castro event didn't. The events aim to meet each neighborhood where it is — both in terms of infrastructure and funding.
“I made over $1,000 in four hours. The neighborhood people were out in full force and were so completely supportive,” the Richmond district resident told The Examiner. “I targeted the low-priced items because I know the neighborhood demographic; it was my neighborhood. I assumed the $30-35 items would sell, but people were dropping money left and right on a ton of high-end items.”
Art Walk SF may also end up being helpful for people who started arts enterprises during the pandemic. “We are volunteers and this is a passion project. We are really hoping just to be able to leverage current knowledge we have and then roll it out,” Huie said.
