Why: The San Francisco International Arts Festival (SFIAF) will host its annual holiday fundraiser online this year and it is dedicated to the intriguing theme of Equal Protection Under the First Amendment for the Arts. We invite members of the public to join us for a packed and interactive program of poetry and spoken word performances hosted by performance artist, Nkechi Emeruwa-Neuberg. The featured artists (curated by Kimi Sugioka, the Poet Laureate of Alameda County), will address different aspects of the First Amendment. In addition to outstanding performances the evening will include "surprise" cameo appearances by several Bay Area luminaries, a sneak-preview of the Festival's spring 2021 outdoor season and an in-person chat with the Festival's legal team as they review our First Amendment case against the City & County of San Francisco.
