DESCRIPTION:ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday March 2011\n	Manufactured 
 Organic\nExploring the Environmental Implications of Art\n\nOpening 
 Reception: Saturday, March 12th, 7-10 pm\n\nThe practice of making and 
 exhibiting art is often at odds with environmental ideals. In addition to 
 the material and processes used to create individual artworks– a typical 
 exhibition consumes a large amount of material and energy– including 
 paint for prepping gallery walls, electricity for gallery lighting, and 
 packing material for safely transporting work to and from the 
 exhibition.\n\nAlthough working within the framework of a standard 
 exhibition, Manufactured Organic encourages conversation about the 
 environmental impact of the art world. Through progressively shifting their 
 art practices to reflect a sense of ecological awareness, the artists 
 included in Manufactured Organic pose sustainable solutions to the 
 environmental issues inherent in the exhibition process.\n\nIn an effort to 
 offset the carbon footprint of this exhibition, a portion of the proceeds 
 from Manufactured Organic will go toward the greening of Root Division.

 DIVISION:\nRoot Division is an arts & arts 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, and the Zellerbach 
 Family Foundation.\n\nFor further information regarding events and/or press
