Opening Reception--City Hall


The opening reception of "As We Live It" exhibit which took place last Wednesday (June 8th) at City Hall, sponsored by San Francisco Arts Commission and San Francisco Study Center, featured incredible art work created and submitted by some 30 plus artists from all across San Francisco's community behavioral health clinics. While the event was billed as highlighting the works of "people in treatment", the level of artistry and sophistication represented by the pieces was truly astounding.

I was simultaneously flattered and humbled that our "unheard voices" film--which is to be played in a continuous loop throughout the duration of the exhibit which runs through September 9th-- helped to inspire this exhibit.

Reception is Tomorrow!

The opening reception for As We Live It exhibit at City Hall is tomorrow.

Hope to see a lot of people in support of the 30+ artists whose works will be exhibited at City Hall. This is a big event for many of the consumers who have taken the courage to be vulnerable by exposing their art & lives to the public. For some, this is their first time in the limelight...which can be incredibly stressful. I'm grateful for their willingness and generosity to share their work with the world. Thanks also to San Francisco Arts Commission, Community Behavioral Health Services, and the San Francisco Study Center.
