Join us for a special artist reception on Thursday, May 22, from 6–8 PM to celebrate the closing weekend of Andy Diaz Hope: Yesterday's Tomorrows and Zeina Barakeh: CYBOTAGE.
Andy Diaz Hope recently completed a residency at The Space Program San Francisco, where he explored working with large-format digital prints featured in his exhibition. Emily Lakin, an affiliate of The Space Program, will offer remarks about the impacts of the residency on the local artist community.
We will also celebrate the reinstallation of Al Farrow’s monumental sculpture The White House (2018) in the gallery’s North Rack Room.
Artists Diaz Hope, Barakeh, and Farrow will be in attendance to discuss their work. Light refreshments will be served.
The Space Program San Francisco is a private artists’ residency, providing primarily Bay Area artists across a range of disciplines with the space, tools, and time to create.
Located in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco, the Space Program facility includes 4,000 square feet of shared studio space where residents have access to a recording studio, industrial sewing machines, ceramics tools and a kiln, screen printing facilities, a wood shop, and a metal shop on site along with off-site metal fabrication services.
To date, the Space Program has supported approximately 50 residents in the creation of original works across a range of disciplines including painting, sculpture, textiles, sound and print as well as a biannual mural-in-residence program leveraging the south side of the facility's exterior.
In addition to supporting residents, the Space Program also operates the Art for Justice program which offers free silkscreen printing services for progressive causes, including reproductive rights, anti-racist/racial justice activities, voting initiatives, and climate action.
