Hi Hat is a beer and pizza restaurant located at 1432 Valencia St, San Francisco. I have been curating this space since April 2025 and I am proud to present Fantasy Forest.
Take a journey down the path into the distant wood and you’ll find a synergistic flow between the artworks by Nick Maltagliati & Pauline Crowther Scott. Fantasy Forest celebrates punchy color, curvy line work, and natural elements to transport you to another dimension, planet, universe while simultaneously referencing local flora and geography.
Curated by Nick Maltagliati.
Opening Reception: September 2, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: July 21-November 10, 2026
