DESCRIPTION:We are artists and art workers of the 99%. We are struggling to survive and 
 sustain our creative practice in an economy that does not value us as 
 workers, that privatizes cultural institutions and that continuously 
 defunds art programs--from public education to government grants. We are 
 putting our creative efforts towards this movement and considering our role 
 in the fight for economic and social justice.\n\nJoin us for the Artists 
 Bloc day at Occupy San Francisco for hands-on workshops, participatory 
 projects, discussions and the distribution of our zine. The day will 
 include screen-printing and banner-making workshops, a speaker's booth and
