Root Division presents Introductions 2016, the tenth iteration of our annual juried exhibition. The Introductions exhibition showcases the talent of thirteen emerging artists in the San Francisco Bay Area, offering exposure to the art community and beyond.

Through a highly competitive review process this year's jurors -- Abby Chen, Curator & Artistic Director, Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco, Clea Massiani, Co-Founder of Bass & Reiner Gallery, and Renny Pritikin, Chief Curator, Contemporary Jewish Museum -- selected thirteen finalists from over 140 submissions based on the conceptual and formal strength of the work. The resulting exhibition includes diverse range of media and subject matter featuring painting, drawing, sculpture, video, photography, and more.

The exhibition has become one of the keystones of Root Division’s exhibition programming offering exposure to emerging artists and a chance for the public to view cutting edge local art production in the Bay Area.

This September marks 1-year in our new home at 1131 Mission Street. Join us in celebrating at this special 2nd Saturday Event. There will be cake!
