The Portable Ice Cream Stand

Part art-object, part functioning ice cream stand, The Portable Ice Cream Stand is a nomadic food stand and social gathering serving sweet refreshments at local functions, playgrounds, campsites, laundry mats, and bookstores. During his residency at Southern Exposure, Rosch will work with a visiting cast of artists to build the stand along with an ongoing assemblage of objects. Interested in creating alternative economies, The Portable Ice Cream Stand will hold business hours and function as model for an alternative economy to support various artistic efforts. Stop by the gallery for some ice cream and a visit with the artist.

Visit the Artist: Thursday – Saturday, 12:00 – 6:00 pm

*We are looking for a super scooper volunteer for this Saturday from 12 - 6pm. Please contact Maysoun at [email protected] or (415) 863-2141 if you are interested in helping out.
