DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 1, 2010\n\nROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second 
 Saturday January 2011\nCall & Response\n\nOpening Reception: Saturday, 
 January 8th, 7-10 pm\n\nIn music, call and response refers to two 
 successive and distinct phrases usually played by different musicians, a 
 conversation-like exchange of musical statements, one being the call, and 
 the other the response.  The paintings in this exhibition were created 
 through a visual call & response between artists chosen by local artist 
 Robert Minervini. \n\nThe exhibition features the work of 10 painters from 
 around the country.   Participants were asked to step outside their usual 
 studio practice and engage with another artist.  The paintings featured 
 were created during a four-month period of conversation and 
 experimentation.  Each pair of artists set their own guidelines for their 
 collaboration based on location, previous histories, and artistic 
 background.  This exhibition is the culmination of those 
 collaborations.\n\nIt is the hope of the curator that this exhibition will 
 create a platform for discussion about the role of autonomy, community, 
 influence, and the self in the arts, as well as shed light on the creative 
 process.\n\nCollaborators:Sara Bright and Becky Suss\nLeila Cartier and

 education non-profit located in the Mission District of San Francisco. Root 
 Division's mission is to improve appreciation and access to the visual arts 
 by connecting personal inspiration and community participation. We provide 
 subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange for their service in 
 creating shared learning opportunities for the community. Artists develop 
 creatively and professionally by teaching art to under served youth, 
 leading adult education classes, and producing exhibitions that showcase 
 local emerging artwork. By combining multiple opportunities for creative 
 exchange, Root Division cultivates an artistic ecosystem that enriches life 
 throughout the Bay Area.\n\nRoot Division is supported in part by grants 
 from Grants for the Arts: San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund & Voluntary Arts 
 Contribution Fund, Walter & Elise Haas Fund, and Bill Graham Foundation.  
 The Second Saturday Exhibition Series is sponsored by the San Francisco 
 Arts Commission through a Cultural Equity Grant/Organizational Project 
 Grant, the Hewlett Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Foundation.\n\n
