1275 Minnesota St / The San Francisco Arts Education Project

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 11th | 1pm–4pm

Now in its 51st season, the San Francisco Arts Education Project continues to explore the relationship between artist mentor and student artist in Dialogues 2020: Artist Mentors and Their Students. The exhibition is a conversation of formal, material, or conceptual elements found in the work of both the older and the younger artists. The work of SFArtsED artist mentors hangs alongside work created by students in each artists’ residency in a San Francisco public school or in an SFArtsED after-school program. Who inspires whom? Is resonance reciprocal?
