You are cordially invited to join Beth Grossman and Jeff Raz for a Revolutionary Tea Party
A Revolutionary Tea Party:
A Call to Tea, Liberty, and Civil Discourse
Saturday, September 19, 2:00-4:00 PM
SFArtsED gallery, 1275 Minnesota St., SF
Over tea, participants will use quill pens and dark tea to visually comment on and edit a tablecloth printed with the Declaration of Independence. Together, we will consider its promises, what they have meant over time, and what they might mean today.
Beth Grossman reimagines historic texts and civic ideals through quill-pen calligraphy, typography, and participatory performance. Her artwork brings the past into conversation with the present, using beauty, humor, and participation to invite fresh perspectives. For more than a decade, as an “act of civil obedience,” she has publicly scribed the United States Constitution with a quill pen on vintage money bags, examining the influence of financial interests on democracy.
SFArtsED is thrilled to present a series of free visual-arts workshops which will take place every Third Saturday of each month from 2–4 PM in the SFArtsED gallery at 1275 Minnesota Street. Taught by SFArtsED Artist Mentors, these making-oriented events are geared towards visitors of all ages who are interested in creative expression! From shadow puppet-making to paper-pulp sculpture and beyond, these workshops are a great way to learn about new art processes and techniques. Materials are provided and drop-ins are welcome.
