This summer, Youth Art Exchange will unveil OceanBloom: an interdisciplinary, collaborative mural project, with work installed on a series of 10 utility boxes along Ocean Avenue.
Join Youth Art Exchange's team of artists and printmakers for a sneak preview of the work and artist's reception at Supervisor Yee's office in San Francisco City Hall on Monday, May 14, 5–6:30PM.
San Francisco City Hall: 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, Room 244
For this project, our printmaking and photography faculty artists and student artists have collaborated in the creation of a concept for an interdisciplinary visual art series, and research on native plants and flowers of the area to understand the history of Ocean Avenue. Photography students took portraits with black and white film along Ocean Avenue with community members of all ages and backgrounds and developed them at Rayko Photo Center. Printmaking students translated those portraits to silk screened pieces, collaging them with native plants to reflect Ocean Avenue “then and now.” Finally, the images were digitally transformed to 3D to install on this series of 10 “editions” along Ocean Avenue SFMTA boxes.
This project is possible through support from Supervisor Yee’s Participatory Budget Process, the Ocean Avenue Association, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and SF Municipal Transportation Authority.
