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 underserved 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 the The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; National Endowment for the Arts; Grants for the Arts: San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund; Voluntary Arts Contirbution Fund; Zellerbach Family Foundation, W A Gerbode Foundation, Fleishhacker Foundation, Bill Graham Memorial Fund, and Art4Moore. \n\nFor further information regarding events and/or press materials, please do not hesitate to contact Amy Cancelmo at 415.863.7668 or events@rootdivision.org.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/02/21/18707873.php SUMMARY:Taste LOCATION:Root Division\n3175 17th Street San Francisco CA 94110 URL:https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/02/21/18707873.php DTSTART:20120420T023000Z DTEND:20120420T053000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
