DIALOGUES 2023:

Artist Mentors and their Students

February 11 – March 25, 2023
Opening Reception: February 11, 2-4 PM
SFArtsED Gallery at 1275 Minnesota St.

Now in its 54th season, the San Francisco Arts Education Project continues to explore the relationship between artist mentors and their students in its annual Dialogues exhibit. Showcasing the mutual exchange of formal, material, or conceptual elements found in the work of both the older and the younger artists, the work of SFArtsED artist mentors is presented in conjunction with student work created during each artists’ San Francisco Unified School District in-school, after-school, or independent school residency. Who inspires whom? Is resonance reciprocal?
