Collect art, support arts education, and be inspired by artists at Root Division’s largest annual fundraising event! We are proud to feature an eclectic mix of high quality artwork from over 100 established and emerging Bay Area artists, including plenty of shining and rising stars! As you can imagine, we are reinventing yet again — still with the artwork installed in Root Division’s gallery, a continuation of online bidding, and a hybrid event.
Proceeds directly benefit local artists, free art classes for Bay Area youth, and the continued success of Root Division’s unique model for keeping artists working at the heart of San Francisco.
