Root Division is excited to present New Growth 2019 - an annual Youth Art Exhibition + Extravaganza featuring hands-on family art making activities, alongside an exhibition of student artwork from Root Division’s free after school Youth Education Program.

New Growth is a family-friendly event includes complimentary refreshments, a mobile printmaking station, interactive creative stations, and live performances by a variety of Bay Area youth art groups! This event is free and open to the public with support from our fiscal sponsors, which will be announced in early spring.

Root Division’s Youth Education Program recruits, trains, and places Studio Artists, volunteers and interns to teach free art classes in one of our nine partner sites, creating a link between practicing artists and the schools’ communities. All of Root Division’s programs serve a diverse group of students, most of which attend San Francisco Unified School District schools.

Root Division provides free art classes to over 1,000 underserved students in grades K-12 each year. Studio Artists volunteer one hour per week and choose the types of projects and media they are interested in teaching, acting as "artists-in-residence" for a semester at the partner site. Root Division assists the artists in formulating effective, age-appropriate lesson plans and project-based learning curricula while offering them guidance in working with youth. As a result, artists gain valuable experience teaching within the community, and young students are able to interact with adult mentors in the art-making process.
