 Division's spring fundraising event, TASTE 2021: SIP+SENSE on Thursday, 
 April 22! We're reinventing this RD favorite as a hybrid virtual event that 
 brings tasting, sipping, and a variety of sensory experiences into your 
 home alongside the Spell of the Senses exhibition in the gallery.\n\nThe 
 event will include Virtual Studio Visits with our incredible cohort of 
 emerging artists and a menu of interactive activities and performances with 
 award-winning chef Tu David Phu and artists Siouxbean, Anja Ulfeldt, and 
 Ven Voisey. We're also featuring a silent auction full of art, products, 
 and gift certificates from over 80 local artists and businesses! The 
 exhibition, as well as all silent auction works, will be installed in the 
 gallery and viewable by appointment, with the “live” event and bidding 
 all happening digitally!\n\nFrom $20 donations and bids on cookbooks and 
 tastings to Host Level packages and purchases of sensory-inspired 
 art—every level of support will make a vital impact this year! Join us as 
 a general admission guest on a sliding scale, or purchase one of our HOST, 
 DELUXE or VIP packages, where you can SIP and SENSE with us while we all 
 continue to S.I.P. (Shelter in Place). We have goodies including savories 
 by Full Skoop, babingkas by Eats by E, and cocktails from Teeth and 
 Altitide. Buy tickets here: rootdivision.org/taste\n\nAll proceeds benefit 
 local artists, free art classes for Bay Area youth, and the continued 
 success of Root Division's unique model for keeping artists working in the 
 heart of San Francisco\n\nRoot Division is a visual arts ecosystem where 
 artists receive subsidized studio space in exchange for service to the 
 community. Each artist in our program volunteers 12 hours of service per 
 month towards teaching art to youth and adults as well as coordinating 
 engaging exhibitions. We are committed to continuing the tradition of 
 supporting excellence and accessibility in the arts, and cannot do it 
 without community support! \n\n\nSPONSORS + PARTNERS to
