Party: Save Firehouse 8 and See Rare Chuck Sperry Firehouse Art

Come to a free night of rare Chuck Sperry art, Lagunitas beer, and killer food.

All inside the very amazing, historical SF landmark we’re all trying to save—Firehouse 8.

Entrepreneurial SF artist Teresa Nittolo and crew have been putting everything they have into restoring, preserving, and turning the old Firehouse 8 building into a grand community arts center. But after so many fees from the SF Planning and Building Depts, not to mention the inherent headaches of a 1917 building, they’re needing some financial help—or the project won’t happen at all.

As the original home of the legendary Firehouse Kustom Rockart silkscreen outfit, Chuck Sperry is going to show some rare works from the early days in tha’ House.
