Best of the Bay 2025 Editors' Pick: Studio Fallout - 48 hills
"But only one, Studio Fallout, resides in the historic basement studio of Winston Smith, famed punk-surrealist artist. Smith's art is available for purchase, items from a career that also includes some 50 album cover designs for the likes of the Dead Kennedys and Green Day. While Smith still hosts exhibitions and other special events at Fallout, these days, he also shares the space with a collective of fellow artists and creatives."
"Fallout is located at 50-A Bannam Place, an old Victorian on a quiet alley in North Beach. To access it, you creep down a short flight of rickety stairs leading to the bowels of the building. Stepping into the basement studio feels a bit like entering an underground nightclub. Moody lighting, concrete floors, and exposed ceiling beams play up the punk rock vibes. But instead of a bar and a mosh pit, you'll find an eclectic mix of curated vintage clothing, records, furniture, quirky home décor, art, and other fun items."
