“New Growth” Youth Art Exhibition & Extravaganza (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Root Division’s annual Youth Art Exhibition & Extravaganza is back! New Growth: Bright Futures showcases student artwork created during our free after-school Youth Education Program. This year we’re partnering with a collective of youth-centered organizations to present dynamic live performances alongside hands-on all-ages art making activities.

This year’s theme, Bright Futures, acknowledges the light of our students and teaching artists, who have overcome many challenges this year through their creativity and resilience, and who are leading the way towards a bright and inspiring future for us all.

New Growth: Bright Futures will include interactive artist-led creative stations and spirited live music performances by Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble, Loco Bloco, and SF Rock Project.
