Art/Lit LIZ Launch Party

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for a night of art, food, music, creativity and play as we launch the Art/Lit Living Innovation Zone (LIZ) project.

The Art/Lit Living Innovation Zone is a new work of public sculpture developed as part of the Living Innovation Zone (LIZ) program, a City collaboration co-led by the Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation, San Francisco Planning and the San Francisco Arts Commission. Designed by San Francisco public high school students in the Architecture Program at Youth Art Exchange, the sculpture is inspired by mythological creatures found in the art and literature of many different cultures and time periods. Their dragon is decorated with a myriad of patterns found on artwork in the collections of the Asian Art Museum. Over the next two years, the intended life of the project, the sculpture and its surrounding area will be programmed with activities and new mural openings. This project was sponsored by the Asian Art Museum and San Francisco Main Library.
