Sketch Hedge Coffee (Cafe Art Circle)

Cafe Sketching at Hedge Coffee in the SF Mission District. 📍 1:00pm meet inside. Look for us with sketchbooks. 🎨 Bring your own art supplies. Roam freely. Sketch what you see. ☕ Pull up a chair anytime to draw with us and talk art. 📓 2:45pm. We wrap things up with a show & tell throwdown. Hedge Coffee has high ceilings and a warehouse-like feel, and has DJs typically spinning every weekend during their "Coffee & Beats" / "Lose Yourself" residencies. Good mix of creative and hip. This is organized by the **[Cafe Art Circle](https://www.zenbay.org/cafe_art_circle)** meetup under SF Sketchers. We explore coffee and tea shops around the Bay Area, using sketching as a way to experience the atmosphere of each place and its neighborhood. All skill levels welcome. Message Jimmy or post on the group board if you need help finding us.

Glam Pumpkin Night: Halloween Paint, Decorate & Sip in San Francisco

**Halloween, but make it glam. ✨🎃** Spend your Sunday afternoon in San Francisco with wine, beautiful food, good company and a little creative escape. GLAM PUMPKIN NIGHT is a stylish Halloween-weekend experience at Bar & Bean Fusion where we’ll paint and decorate beautiful pumpkins with pearls, rhinestones, metallic details and acrylic paint. Come with your friends, make it a creative date — or come on your own. You absolutely don’t need to know anyone before you arrive, and you don’t need any painting experience. This isn’t a traditional painting class and it definitely isn’t a kids’ pumpkin craft. Think more: a beautiful Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, music, conversation, creativity and a glam pumpkin you’ll actually want to display at home. **WHAT’S INCLUDED** 🎃 Artificial pumpkin to decorate and take home 🎨 Acrylic paint + all art and décor materials 💎 Pearls, rhinestones, metallic and decorative elements 🥂 One glass of wine 🧀 Cheese, fruit & small snacks ✨ 3-hour guided creative experience 📸 Halloween photo zone Choose your own look — dramatic black, elegant cream, classic orange, or create something completely your own. **WHO IS IT FOR?** Anyone who loves creative experiences, Halloween, home décor, beautiful spaces, wine and trying something a little different. Come with girlfriends, friends, your partner, or come solo. Solo guests are very welcome — Meetup is actually a perfect place to discover an experience like this when you don’t already have someone to go with. No artistic experience is required. I’ll guide you through the process while still giving you plenty of freedom to make your pumpkin your own. LGBTQ+ welcoming. 🧡 **SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25** **3:00–6:00 PM** 📍 Bar & Bean Fusion 1 Polk St San Francisco, CA 94102 Hosted by **Tetiana / TBArt Studio × Bar & Bean Fusion** **TICKETS** Early Bird — $85 Standard — $95 Couple Ticket — $171 for two ⚠️ **Your Meetup RSVP does not purchase your ticket.** Space is limited and your spot is confirmed only after purchasing your ticket through Eventbrite. 🎟️ **GET YOUR TICKET:** [GLAM PUMPKIN NIGHT — Eventbrite Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/glam-pumpkin-night-tickets-2002894191443?aff=Meetup&utm_source=chatgpt.com) See you for a little Halloween glam. ✨🎃🥂

Alcazar Theater

This eclectic Moorish/Byzantine building, commissioned by the Shriners as the *Islam Temple* was designed by architect [Thomas Patterson Ross](https://noehill.com/architects/ross.aspx). The June 1917 edition of *Architect and Engineer* noted that the temple was "an adaptation from Alhambra, a building that stands as the highest mark of Arabian art and civilization." The Islam Temple was used for Shriner meetings and ceremonies from 1918 to 1970. Later it functioned as a small theater in the tradition of the original Alcazar Theater which was located on O'Farrell Street. (The original Alcazar opened in 1885, was destroyed by the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, was rebuilt, and was razed for a parking lot in 1963.) Brind a chair, meet at 12:15/12:30 to share

Charcoal Drawing Classes Meet in Art Studio in SF

Thank you for visiting our group - Charcoal Drawing Class! We meet on Saturdays, 5:00-7:00pm, in my art studio located in San Francisco. All are welcome, whether you are a total beginner who want to explore, learn, or just have fun... or a more experienced artist who might want to freshen your techniques, pick up where you left off a while ago, or just enjoy the experience of drawing in a group setting and share the joy of creating art. My art studio is a place for kids M-F after school and we have day camps during school holidays. We have been in business since 2019. I have decided to include adult art classes on Saturdays and Sundays, and now we have oil painting classes 2-4:30pm, and drawing classes 5-7pm. On Sundays are have soft pastels drawing classes. We will draw still life. If there's a request for a live model, please let me know! It's a wonderful place for everyone to get together safely to have fun, learn, and bring home a beautiful piece of artwork that you have created! All art supplies are provided unless you wish to bring your own. Please go to my website https://www.sweetartssanfrancisco.com/art-for-adults, to pay/sign up. Please note that you are not signed up for the class if you only RSVP here on Meetup. Also, many participants sign up directly on our website for the event; therefore, if you see an event with no RSVP here on Meetup, it does not mean no one is attending the event. If you have any questions, please email me at sweetartssf@gmail.com for a quick response. Hope to see you soon!
