 \n\nABOUT ROOT DIVISION:\nRoot Division is an arts and 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 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
