Artists worth their salt will tell you the experimental phase of a project is one of the most important. Without a serious round of throwing caution to the wind, most artwork wouldn't reach its full potential. And what's the point of work that doesn't push at least a few boundaries? With this in mind, SOMArts continues its ongoing series, The News. Tailor-made for the queer artists who so greatly shape the city of San Francisco, The News takes place on the first Tuesday of each month. Participants are invited to show new work from virtually every discipline — dance, drag, music, comedy, or commentary. And given the intimate nature of the shows, as well as the safe, LGBT-nourishing space, pieces range from highly polished to bare-bones works in progress. Stick around after the show for a brief session where audience members are invited to share their thoughts on the work — or just to brush elbows with other members of the community.
SOMArts presents The News at 7:30 p.m. and continues the first Tuesday of every month at 934 Brannan St., S.F. $5; 863-1414 or somarts.org. Laura Jaye Cramer
