Foundation: Aaron Glasson, Faith 47, Saylem Celeste, Salomée Souag, & Hospitality House Artists
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Foundation will focus on the concepts of home and community, and their relationship with one another. Is home a place, an idea, or a coterie? The exhibition is about the idea of shelter in its many forms. The foundation is the core and the base of the home. Shelter is also one of the foundational basic needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. We are asking artists and the audience to question these concepts and explore what home truly means beyond cliché idioms.
We will bring in a local nonprofit, Hospitality House, and devote a section of the gallery to local artists who experienced or are experiencing homelessness. Hospitality House's Community Arts Program (CAP) is the City's only free fine arts studio and gallery space for low-income and homeless artists, celebrating art as a vehicle for social change. Local artists hone their skills through tailored workshops, with frequent opportunities to create and exhibit their work to a growing citywide audience and keep 100% of the proceeds from art sales making CAP a unique social enterprise, celebrating the work of art - as a viable economic asset. We provide free art supplies to low-income neighborhood artists, establish opportunities to sell artwork through exhibitions and art markets, and increase artistic skills through art workshops. Additionally, Heron Arts is providing a stipend to all participating CAP artists to honor their time and efforts in the creation of artworks for the purpose of this exhibition.
HOSPITALITY HOUSE
Fighting for the Soul of the City
Hospitality House is a progressive, community-based organization in San Francisco's Tenderloin Neighborhood, Sixth Street Corridor, and Mid-Market Area. We build community strength by advocating policies and rendering services which foster self-sufficiency, celebrate cultural enrichment, and promote racial equity. Hospitality House is committed to rebuilding lives, celebrating creativity, and strengthening community for low-income residents in the heart of San Francisco.
Hospitality House began in 1967 as a simple drop-in space offering safe refuge for homeless LGBTQ youth. As poverty and homelessness emerged as national crises, Hospitality House evolved into an anchor institution serving housed and unhoused low-income residents with a commitment to racial and economic justice.
