We are thrilled to be working on preserving this prohibition-era bait shop and pub. Many generations have come here after a long day of work, or before they took the train to the delta for a fishing trip or more typically of late, after a Cal football game.

Wholly H2O has curated and produced this show at the Sherwood Gallery. Our Hetchy Hetchy Diptych is included in the show.
The fragile relationship between San Francisco Bay Area residents and their water supply was heightened by the recent events of the Rim Fire that tore through the protected watershed in and around Yosemite that provides the Bay Area with much of its water. Wholly H2O, in partnership with Sherwood Gallery, has assembled a provocative group of 17 artists working to address the environmental issues surrounding this interrelationship.
Presenting works in a variety of media, the show "Standing with the Watershed" opens in the Sherwood Gallery on December 5th. The artists share their interpretations and experiences defined by the nature-urban interface and the dynamic transformative element of wildfire that brings the tension in this relationship to the fore. Both the physicality of the Tuolumne River Watershed and the use of these waters in San Francisco and Silicon Valley are the launching points for all of the artists’ work. Grappling with the dynamic and unpredictable variables of ‘natural disasters’ provokes a corresponding response exhibited in the paintings, photographs and installations on view in the gallery.
