I went there this weekend as part of [Pro Arts East Bay Open Studios](http://www.proartsgallery.org/ebos/). I think the most notable artist there is Karen Cusolito, who makes the giant welded metal sculptures. There’s a big gallery space inside, and there were a lot of different artists showing. The place will be open next weekend, too. You can see thumbnails of the artists’ work [here](http://db.proartsgallery.org/ebosGallery_15.php) - the ones at American Steel are numbers 180 through 191.
