Library Sponsored Community Partnerships
Steel to Wheels Exhibit
SFPL’s Potrero Branch, in partnership with a guest curator, will host an exhibition dedicated to one of Potrero Hill's few remaining examples of industrial architecture: the Cor-o-van moving company's structures at 16th, 17th and Mississippi Streets. Metal and brick structures occupied by Cor-o-van once housed the largest steel-producing factory on the West Coast, associated with the some of the most significant turn-of-the-century and early 20th century construction. This art exhibition sheds light on significant, under-examined aspects of Potrero Hill's industrial past and envisions the possibilities of its future. Opening Reception: Saturday, February 23rd, 4pm. Exhibit runs 2/23 - 4/25.
