Today from Mission Local

Good afternoon! Here’s the latest:

We’ve got another in our series of intro interviews: Today, Oscar Palma talks with incoming D9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder about vending in the Mission, the police, and her recent chat with Mayor Lurie.

And some arts news: Dance Brigade is back with ‘A Woman’s Song for Peace’, in collaboration with women’s music stars Holly Near and Ferron. Then Lydia Chรกvez has a comprehensive illustrated guide to what’s going on at museums around the city right nowโ€“just look at those fabulous contemporary rugs at the Museum of Craft and Design!

Hey, one last thing: To kick off SF Art Week, SF Art Guide will be celebrating its first anniversary tomorrow evening at the Voss Gallery with an exhibition of local artists. See our events section for details!

More soon,

Sara
