*from the press release:*
San Francisco, a city known for activism and creativity, will host the
emotional and politically charged *Simnuke Art
Exhibit*<http://www.simnuke.org/gallery.html>on July 28th, 7pm to
midnight, at
*Rx Gallery* <http://www.rxgallery.com/>, 132 Eddy Street. Over the last
sixty years, people all over the world have struggled with the looming
threat of nuclear arms. For the artists exhibiting in the Simnuke Art
Exhibit, this struggle expresses itself through artwork that is both
stunning and a searing indictment of the nuclear arms race.

*The Simnuke Project* <http://www.simnuke.org/home.html> commemorates and=

confronts the splitting of the atom using art that ranges the emotional
gamut from fear to anger, satire, and above all, a simple wish for peace.
