Free Docent Tour of The Upper Crust - Civic Center

The San Francisco Arts Commission will offer a free docent-led tour of Patrick Dougherty’s large-scale environmental work, The Upper Crust on the first Tuesday of every month through November 2009.

Comprised of 18,000 pounds of freshly cut willow saplings, the sculpture is woven into the tops of the sycamores located on Joseph L. Alioto Performing Arts Piazza in front of City Hall. Tour will meet in front of sculpture.

Patrick Dougherty's work is very cool if you have not seen one before. If you've ever been to the SF Bay Discovery Museum, you've likely seen his work. In the back of the outdoor playground there is that willow maze (back by the spider's web). That's Patrick Dougherty, it's cool. I bet it will be very cool to watch as seasons change too.
