New Growth 2019: Shared Stories, Youth Art Exhibition & Extravaganza

Root Division is proud to present New Growth 2019: Shared Stories, our annual Youth Art Exhibition & Extravaganza featuring hands-on family art making activities, alongside an exhibition of student artwork created from Root Division’s free after-school Youth Education Program. This year’s theme recognizes the power of sharing stories to find common ground and celebrate differences. Presented in partnership with Youth Art Exchange, this dynamic event features live performances and interactive art activities for the whole family.

New Growth 2019: Shared Stories will include complimentary refreshments, a mobile printmaking station, interactive creative stations, and live performances by Destiny Arts, Youth Art Exchange, and SF Rock Project.


Root Division’s Youth Education Program recruits, trains, and places Studio Artists, volunteers and interns to teach free art classes at one of our nine partner sites - creating a link between practicing artists and the schools’ communities. All of Root Division’s partner programs serve a diverse group of students, most of which attend San Francisco Unified School District schools.
