The North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District, in celebration of the opening of its new offices, is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Patricia Araujo and photography by Mark Ellinger. Featuring new work by both artists, the show is a tribute to the beauty and splendor of decaying and abandoned architecture and iconic City landmarks that distinguish the Tenderloin, mid-Market Street and Sixth Street/SoMa. The opening will coincide with the release of Patricia's book, SOMA SEEN, featuring drawings and paintings of South of Market architecture, and Up from the Deep Part Two: Mid-Market Street, the first published volume of Mark's Hotel Project.
