 Division is an arts and arts education non-profit located in the Mission 
 District of San Francisco. Root Division acts as an ecosystem for artists 
 in that we provide subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange 
 for their service in the organization. While creating opportunities for 
 individuals to develop both creatively & professionally, Root Division 
 promotes creative expression and builds community through having these 
 artists teach art in after school programs, lead adult education classes, 
 and produce special events that showcase local emerging artists. It is in 
 these connections between artistic exploration and public engagement that 
 we spark the powerful synergy between personal inspiration and social 
 change.\n\nRoot Division is supported in part by grants from the San 
 Francisco Foundation, and by a charitable gift from the Kanbar Charitable 
 Trust administered by the Jewish Community Endowment Fund. The Second 
 Saturday Exhibition Series is sponsored by a grant from the Phyllis C. 
 Wattis Foundation and from the Zellerbach Family Foundation. \n\n
