The primary intention of 3RD ST CREATIVE ARTERY is to highlight and amplify the efforts and output of artists, makers, movers, and shakers who have a connection to San Francisco’s 3RD ST through engaging exhibits, curated events, and creative programming. A cornerstone of our offering will be exhibiting the visual artwork of Lawrence Ferlinghetti who has deep and long-standing ties to the area, as he maintained a light-filled art studio at Hunters Point Shipyard for almost 40 years. We’ll also feature books, objects, and artifacts from his personal library.
