This is a very special event + includes the presentation of an ArtSFest Lifetime Achievement Award to Rene di Rosa. For those of you who have not yet visited his di Rosa Preserve, it is absolutely magical and an inspiration to all of us who work with emerging artists. Phil Bronstein, Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, will be presenting the award to Mr. di Rosa. The evening includes special live performances by Bay Area favorites: Killing My Lobster (sketch comedy), Marc Bamuthi Joseph (hip hop theater), Zoe Keating (electronic cello), Groovus (funk), Sutro (sultry jazz), and One People Voice Company (Balinese chant processional orchestra). PLUS an EMERGING ARTIST SHOWCASE featuring California's top emerging artists. The ENTIRE fourth floor of the design center was curated by START SOMA, and we have some stellar NEW ART showcased. Painting. Sculpture. Photography. Graffiti + Street Art. New Media. Video + Projections. Several site-specific installations. Several dozen emerging artists will be showcasing AND selling their work, and ALL the money goes directly to the artists. None of those annoying gallery commissions! ;-) This is a great opportunity to support some pretty amazing local artists DIRECTLY. And since several of our featured artists have just been selected for the BAY AREA NOW triennial exhibition which opens this summer at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, this is your chance to pick up some great art BEFORE the prices go up! additional information on ArtSFest PURCHASE TICKETS!
