OPEN HOUSE - Mother’s Day Portraits / Breakers to Bay Salmon Run Costume Making Party

In celebration of Mother's Day, we will be capturing portraits honoring MOMs! The Box Shop's own artist/photographer, Max Kapczynski, will set up in our blossoming garden area surrounded by murals. Come on over to celebrate this year's Mother's Day with a beautiful portrait.

Breakers to Bay Salmon Run Costume Making Party
Come join in the fun and meet those wild salmon who will be running upstream during the Bay to Breakers run May 18th. Help create the costumes. More info on Facebook.

A message from the salmon team:

We wear salmon costumes and run Bay to Breakers the "wrong" direction often yelling SPAWN!.

You get cheered and high fived by roughly 50,000 people in one hour for being weirder than them.

It is like 12 years of therapy for people who need affirmation for being different or particularly strange.

TOUR 130+ MURALS!
We commissioned local artists to paint more than 130 murals throughout the space. The Box Shop is one of the Bay Area's largest open-air mural art exhibits!

ENJOY THE SCULPTURE GARDEN!
Take a stroll in our succulent garden, where plants and sculptures blossom in harmony.

MEET THE ARTISTS!
The Box Shop is a haven for metalworkers, stone carvers, seamstresses, painters, woodworkers, sculptors, bicycle engineers, electronic car producers, and more. Bring your questions and quench your curiosity.

SEE WHERE MASSIVE ART IS BORN!
Colossal structures are created at The Box Shop. Some become treasured public art, like Entwined Meadow - an installation in Golden Gate Park in the winters of 2020-2024. We’re also a Burning Man arts community hub. Dozens of Playa sculptures and art cars are built at The Box Shop. Check out the space, machinery, tools, and people that make this magic possible!
