Support Root Division

Since its inception, Root Division has served as a beacon of light, placing artists and their work at the heart of our community in San Francisco. This past year, like so many before it, has reaffirmed our belief that artists play an invaluable role in contributing to the overall health, development, and well-being of our society. They are the creative thinkers that bring joy and inspiration, while also steering us through the darkness.

We are deeply grateful to our community for supporting us in amplifying art’s positive impact and inspiring youth. As we move into our next chapter, our commitment to this work will continue to thrive. By generating more opportunities for emerging artists, deepening our work with local students, and producing world class art exhibitions, Root Division will remain a beacon of light. This critical work is only possible because of your support.

Root Division provides emerging artists with free to low-cost studio space and valuable resources in exchange for volunteering in our local community. To date, Root Division has provided a diverse cohort of 280 artists with studios; empowered and trained 460 artists to teach; provided over 8,000 hours of free art classes for youth; exhibited 4,700 artists; and been a gathering place for over 78,000 visitors.

We acknowledge that this work cannot be done alone. We would be grateful for your support at any level — $100, $500, $2500. Your donation keeps our programming accessible, puts dollars directly in the hands of artists and teachers, and ensures that the light of creativity warms us all.

Support Root Division with a charitable contribution today!

With gratitude,
