Located in the inner sunset, The Canvas is one of only three open mics I know of that record the night's goings on and offer artists the opportunity to buy a cd of their performance afterwards (the others are HRS in Benicia and Blake's in Berkeley). Not only that, but El Mundo Bueno Studios holds a drawing at the end of the night for a donated 4 hours of free studio time (you have to be present to win, but you don't have to perform on the night to enter). This is a venue that truly supports the arts, with local art installations as the decor.
