Join Root Division for The Big Bash, the grand opening celebration of the organization's new 13,000 square foot facility at 1131 Mission Street (at 7th)! This free public event features an engaging inaugural exhibition, special activities for all ages, and a celebration of Root Division's ongoing commitment to support the cultivation of community based arts in San Francisco.
Check out the new multi-level facility! Engage with interactive works in the Inaugural Exhibition, RESONATE. Meet Root Division Studio Artists, and peek inside their new light-filled studios. Grab some refreshments in Root Division's new larger classroom while perusing the schedule of upcoming workshops and classes, or get creative on the spot with hands-on art activities. All this, plus feel good knowing that supporting Root Division also means supporting emerging artists in teaching free after school art classes to underserved youth in San Francisco. There's so much to celebrate!

RESONATE Information:
With a curatorial focus on engagement and interaction, the value of artistic survival, and shifts in the cultural landscape, inaugural exhibition curators Dana Hemenway and Amy Cancelmo have developed a show that highlights what Root Division does best: present occasions for artists to deepen their practice by creating and exhibiting exciting new works; provide a space for the public to interact and engage with exhibited artworks; afford audiences of all ages ongoing opportunities to create and learn. The featured works in RESONATE will collectively celebrate Root Division, highlight the value and depth of the organization’s artistic community, and its continued beneficial impact on Bay Area sustainability in the arts.
