Owner and Curator, Justin Giarla, in SFGate

Sam Whiting of the SFChronice and SFGate wrote a quirky article of our very own Justin Giarla. Justin started out with the Shooting Gallery, going on seven years now, moved up and expanded with White Walls and Gallery Three, continued with Gallery Six, and has now has pretty much monopolized the block with 941Geary just around the corner.

If you haven’t been to this space yet, it is a site to see. Justin has transformed a Smog Check warehouse into a fabulous, lit by angels, high beamed, 3,000 square foot art exploratorium. With a brilliant eye like Justin’s, it’s no doubt that this spot is getting the attention it deserves.

Hell’s Belle’s Car Clubs 5th Annual Pinewood Derby and Silent Art Auction at 941Geary!

Join the ladies of the Hell’s Belles Car Club SF for their 5th Annual Pinewood Derby & Silent Art Auction!

Saturday, September 25, 2024

Benefit for the Bay Area Women’s & Children’s Center (www.bawcc.org)

Doors open at 6:00, races start at 8:00.

The Hell’s Belles are celebrating 10 years as a car club and with your help, we want to make this year’s Derby the biggest success yet!

We are currently accepting artist donations for entry in the silent auction. No matter what your usual style, this is your chance to get down with classic car culture. This means pinups, tattoos, tikis, pin striping, hot rods, and most importantly: vintage. Anything and everything retro will fly, so take a stroll back to the 40s, 50s and 60s for inspiration. All proceeds from the auction will go to charity.

You can also race your own custom Pinewood Derby car on the track or show off an art car! Prizes awarded for both RACE car and SHOW car categories.

All art pieces donated for auction must be ready for hanging, so please contact Hell’s Belles in advance for large pieces (over 3.5′ square) or if special consideration is needed for display. Submitted artwork should include your name, contact information, and title on the back. Every medium is welcome, as past auctions have included watercolors, photographs, giclee prints, oil paintings, woodblock prints, t-shirts, pinstriped purses, customized Chuck Taylors and more. Artists are welcome to retrieve any artwork that does not sell within one week of the event.

For more information, including how to purchase your official Pinewood Derby car kit to enter into the event, click here.
