Honey Art Studio evening meetup (5:30pm)

Rachel Turney is scheduled to appear at Honey Art Studio in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 19, for an in-person launch event tied to her book *To Be (a Woman)*. SF Station lists the event at 5:30 p.m. at Honey Art Studio, 1981 Sutter Street, and describes it as a literary gathering centered on a reading, discussion and book signing. Eventbrite shows the session running from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and says it is organized by redrosethorns Ltd. Liability Co. The event appears to be more specific than a general community art meetup. The public listings describe it as a book launch for Turney’s new collection rather than an open studio session, with attendees invited to hear the author read from the book, discuss the work and meet her in person. ### Who is appearing at Honey Art Studio on Tuesday evening? (sfstation.com) Rachel Turney is the named headliner for the May 19 event, according to the Eventbrite listing. The page says attendees will hear Turney read from *To Be (a Woman)*, talk about the stories behind the poems and sign copies during the event. (sfstation.com) SF Station also identifies the gathering as “In-Person Book Launch: To Be (a Woman) by Rachel Turney.” The listing places it in the literary category and says the evening is meant to bring together readers and the author around the book’s release. ### What kind of event is this, exactly? SF Station describes *To Be (a Woman)* as a poetry collection that examines womanhood through subjects including the past, the workplace, relationships, mental health, travel and metaphor. (eventbrite.com) The listing says the event will include a reading, author remarks and a signing, which places it closer to a literary launch than a drop-in art session. (sfstation.com) Eventbrite uses similar language, calling it a live launch for Turney’s new book and saying the evening is dedicated to womanhood, identity and self-love. The platform lists the event length as two hours and says refunds are available up to two days before the event. ### Where is Honey Art Studio, and what is the space? (sfstation.com) Honey Art Studio is listed at 1981 Sutter Street in San Francisco across the event pages and venue directories. A listing on the community site MAGIC SF describes the studio as a space that “acknowledges the creativity, longevity, ingenuity, and faith of Black people” and says it uses art and economic development to “highlight and uplift culture.” (eventbrite.com) DoTheBay describes Honey Art Studio as a venue created to bring together friends, families, co-workers and strangers to explore creativity. That listing says the studio offers classes built around traditional and hands-on learning styles, suggesting the venue operates as both an arts space and a community gathering site. ### How much does it cost to attend? (sfstation.com) Eventbrite lists two ticket tiers for the May 19 gathering. General admission is priced at $15, while a second option at $30 includes entry and a copy of *To Be (a Woman)*.
