 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 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
