Gallery

Established in 2007, INTRODUCTIONS is one of Root Division’s signature exhibitions, showcasing the talents of twelve emerging Bay Area artists without gallery representation. Artists are selected through a rigorous review process by a panel of three prominent arts professionals based on the conceptual and formal strength of their work. The resulting exhibition provides a snapshot of the Bay Area’s artistic landscape featuring a diverse range of media and subject matter, including but not limited to video, installation, sculpture, photography, textiles, and painting.

With Open Eyes is a group exhibition that amplifies Black visual representation through positive depictions of Black culture and life.

Root Division is thrilled to present New Growth: Collective Futures, our annual Arts Education Celebration. New Growth showcases student artwork created throughout Root Division’s free after-school Youth Education Program.

Presented in conjunction with TASTE, Root Division’s annual culinary event, ‘Gather Round, examines the intimate act of preparing and sharing food with others, and the rituals, traditions, and conversations that accompany it.
