Root Division proudly presents New Growth 2016: Celebrating our Community, our annual Youth Art Celebration & Exhibition, featuring hands-on family art-making activities alongside an exhibition of artwork made by students and instructors in Root Division’s free after school Youth Education Program [1].
FREE refreshments, hands-on family art-making activities, mobile printmaking station led by Youth Art Exchange [2] and Artist & Craftsman Supply [3], collaborative mural making, community quilt sewing, photobooth, live performances by San Francisco Rock Project [4], Larkin Street Youth [5], Destiny Arts Center [6], and more!
