Fellow collaborators Laurel. True; founder of the Institute of Mosaic Art, Lillian Sizemore; author of “Guide to SF Mosaic Sites”, and Madeline Behrens-Brigham; co-founder of HVAC, assisted in the design and construction.

“Remembering 580”, Hayes Valley History Show, July 5th to August 5th, 2008

“Remembering 580” was co-produced by HVAC in conjunction with AgeSong, the current owners of the former market building. The show was a retrospective involving merchants, neighbors, artists and the former and current owners. It chronicled many stories from the community with the emphasis on the last twenty years of development. The kick-off ceremony offered doughnuts, coffee and juice in the tradition of the Kharsa family; thirty year owners of 580 Hayes. A potluck dinner brought former customers and neighbors together as one of the many events held during the month long exhibition.
