RICHARD LOUIS PERRI

San Francisco has always been a city known for its artistic character. It’s famous for musicians in the 60s and 70s and for plays and live performances at the operas and the ballet concert halls. live music all over town.

Also we have a number of fine museums here - the Modern Museum, the DeYoung Museum, The Palace of Legion of Honor, the Museo, Italiano Americano, Museum of Diaspora, the Mexican Museum, the Jewish Museum. In addition to the museums there are also great art movements that came out of San Francisco, the rise of poster art for the musical events that proliferated the city, the surge of underground comic revolution, the Bay Area, Figurative, artists movement and now the rise of more new artistic expression is on the rise.

Now we are at the threshold of this surge of a new century of the San Francisco art movement, as a dedicated SanFrancisco Fine Artist the thought occurred to me that its time to give recognition to the astounding number of fine artists living and working here in this great city I have a dream to see a Fine Art Museum that is specifically dedicated to display the art of the fine artists that live and work here in San Francisco.

So with that thought, desire, and dream, I would like ask your help and support to help create a  museum for fine artists here in the city.
