Organized by a consortium of non-profit arts organizations, arts support groups, artists, and concerned individual supporters of the arts, the consortium participants believe strongly in the need for meaningful public support for the arts and arts education.
While you enjoy a little bit of good food, wine and music; walk around the beautiful SOMArts exhibition space and see: “What Cannot be Taken Away: Families and Prisons Project.” It will be your last chance to see this incredible exhibit before it closes on September 19th.
There are over seven million youth in this country with parents in the legal justice system. “What Cannot be Taken Away: Families and Prisons Project” is a new exhibition of collaborative paintings with Evan Bissell and Community Works that share the experiences of eight individuals who have experienced this rupture in their own families. Resulting from eight months of intergenerational, creative dialogue between Bay Area youth who have incarcerated parents, and fathers who are currently incarcerated in San Francisco jail, the exhibition centers around eight life-size collaboratively designed and created portraits. The exhibition also includes interactive wall drawings, installation pieces, audio, documentation of the process and a dynamic workshop series.
SOMArts Gallery Director Justin Hoover commented, “Evan Bissell’s work is a unique approach to social responsibility where an individual acts as a hub for collaborative and creative social justice. in this way, “What Cannot be Taken Away” highlights some of the most vital social efforts in the local community to use the arts for healing, peace and justice.
