Susan Weil at COL Gallery

We are excited to announce our upcoming solo exhibition of works by Susan Weil (b. 1930). Susan will be attending the opening reception on March 14th from 6–8pm.

A pioneering New York-based artist, Susan has been working for eight decades, yet has not received the full recognition she so richly deserves. She studied at Black Mountain College and was part of an influential circle that included her friends Ruth Asawa, Elaine de Kooning, and Dorothea Rockburne. Now 94, she continues to create poignant, powerful work, and our show will span from the 1960s to the present day.

Given that COL Gallery is located in Ghirardelli Square—home to Ruth Asawa’s first public sculpture, the Andrea fountain—we find it especially meaningful to highlight the connection between these two remarkable artists. Both worked quietly and persistently in relative obscurity until recent years, and we are thrilled to bring Susan’s contributions further into the spotlight.

Please join us opening night to meet Susan and see our exhibition which spans the 1960s to today.

Beats by the Bay featuring The Bribes

Join us in the Square for live music featuring The Bribes.

About The Bribes

The Bribes is the project of Chicago-born, San Francisco-based musician Philip Toscano. Toscano has relocated The Bribes to the Bay after releasing three records and headlining nearly every midsized and DIY venue on the northwest side. The Bribes have settled into California as a three-piece, featuring Toscano on vocals and guitar, Jesse Strauss on bass, and Anthony Puducay on drums. A self-taught guitarist and songwriter who grew up listening to the music from The Animals, Vivaldi, and John Lee Hooker in a classic Midwestern basement, Toscano exhibits a unique and sometimes moody garage-blues-rock sound that possesses both the rollicking energy of 1950's rock and roll and the refined melancholy croon of modern pop music.
