The Fourth Annual Expo for the Artist & Musician took place May 4, 2003, at Cellspace in San Francisco.
2003 DIY & How-To Articles
Attending Groups A-Z
Approximately 900 individuals — artists, hobbyists, arts-service workers and the curious — came through the door for a minimal $2 donation.
Inside they encountered
90 arts organizations
– schools, service groups, production companies, nonprofits, small businesses and more — and made personal, creative and professional connections of all sorts.
2004 marks our FIFTH anniversary — and we have big plans to expand the event beyond a one-day happening into a long-term community-building service.
