New Works

New Works

Organized by PJ Gubatina Policarpio and Vanessa Perez Winder

Root Division is proud to present New Works, a dynamic selection of artworks created by artists participating in our Studios Program. Featuring a range of approaches—including drawing, painting, sculpture, multimedia and photography—the show provides a glimpse into the creative energy cultivated in this unique environment. 

Root Division’s Studios Program is central to our core mission of fostering creativity, community, and access to the arts. Designed as an incubator for emerging artists in the Bay Area, we offer discounted studio spaces at below market rates in exchange for community service; including gallery assistance, exhibition programming and installation, and teaching art classes to youth and adults. Root Division Studio Artists come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, each bringing a unique perspective to their craft. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, allowing us to support a rotating cohort of artists. 

Through their time in the program, Studio Artists receive valuable resources to sustain and grow their art practice. Professional and creative development opportunities, exhibition platforms, and connections to Root Division’s network of peers, curators, collectors, and cultural workers empower artists to expand their practice in exciting ways and form long-lasting connections.
