Bayvan News


BayVAN - May Newsl










Spring is in the air and change is all around. In the spirit of the season, BayVAN has sprouted an updated website. Included in the update is a list of all of the artists in our registry, information about marketing services for artists and organizations, new ideas for collectors and an expanded exhibitions page, including a direct link to the new gallery website bayvanbranch.org. Check it out at bayvan.org.




In the Gallery



Branch Gallery will now be open until 9pm on First Fridays, join us May 7th for the next First Friday event.


Current Exhibition: No Man's Land Scape
Solo Exhibition by Jessalyn Haggenjos
Now through June 5th, 2010


Jessalyn Haggenjos is a San Francisco based painter and sculptor whos work has been featured in numerous publications including New American Paintings and the San Francisco Chronicle. She has shown in venues across the US and beyond. Jessalyn's work is process oriented and steeped in its materiality. The thick, glossy enamel erupts on the panel and causes a reaction to other paints by cracking and flowing in both a playful and toxic way. This duality conveys a sense of both the beauty and contamination she sees in the American landscape.
