We exhibit everyone from internationally renowned artists to unknowns. Tattoos from the wild Barbary Coast days to modern Haight Street hipster jobs cover the walls. Also, the owner has a collection of old tattoo machines, but don't count on seeing them, because he often has them displayed at tattoo art shows around the country. One can see original Batman art by Bob Kane or a Krazy Kat watercolor signed by George Herriman, as well as hundreds of other rare cartoon finds. It also has an animal exhibit where volunteers educate children about the plight of endangered species.
Members get first priority in the art classes and free admission to the museum.
Also, throughout the year, the Exploratorium hosts through its Center for Teaching and Learning a multitude of classes on science and art for students in grades K-12. So maybe you're broke, but still brimming with the spirit of giving. Volunteering time to a local arts organization might just be the ticket. Brava needs volunteers for ushers and administrative support, as well as good ol' manual labor. Also, a membership will go toward restoring the historical grandeur of the Opera House.
