The senior seminar class visited a few of the alternative art galleries in the city last week. At Intersection they had a whole "multi-tiered visual arts project" going on. Evan Bissell, the artist, rounded up young writers and photographed them while he interviewed them about why they write. He had them choose a photo and then he painted it. The writers chose where their portrait was displayed in San Francisco. A few days after visiting the gallery i was in San Francisco and saw several of the portraits at the 16th street BART station. it was amazing to experience the exhibition beyond the gallery.
The exhibition has many components and workshops to connect with youth and the community. It's really complicated, so check out the website for more details.
