And this is a hard job, since the work of arts education is interwoven with the realities of economic systems, social inequality and political volatility. As SFAI builds on our recent progress, we must ensure that students as well as the institution itself emerge nimble, adaptable and resilient in the face of rapid change.

  • FY2014-2016 Panelist Biographies—November
    FY2014-2016 Grant Review Panel Approval List (November) Elmaz Abinader Professor of English, Mills College; Faculty and Board Member, Voices of Our Nation Arts Foundation Born in 1954 in a small town in Pennsylvania, Elmaz Abinader has always felt as if she lived in two worlds: one in her home and the other outside the doors. Her home life was very much rooted in Lebanese tradition. Her childhood activities contrasted with those of the other children in her community. Abinader’s first published book, Children of the Roojme: A Family’s Journey from Lebanon, is about cultural belonging and family strength. She has published a collection of poems, In The Country of My Dreams, which won the Josephine Miles PEN Oakland award in 2000. Abinader has also written and performed three plays: “When Silence is Frightening,” “Under The Ramadan Moon,” and “Country of Origin,” which won two “Drammies,” Portland’s Critic’s Circle Awards for Theater. Deeply involved with political activism, Abinader frequently writes articles about issues affecting Arabs and Arab-Americans. She also published an article on the Living Issue, post 9/11 website in which she writes about her experiences as an Arab-American after 9/11 and her fears for the future. Other work includes “For Arab Americans, Pain in Familiar Faces,” an essay published on the Refuse and Resist website about the suffering in Palestine, and “In The Country of My Dreams. For Marcel Khalife & Khalil Gibran,” in which she offers her support for songwriter Marcel Khalife. Abinader teaches creative writing at Mills College. She is also a resident and hosts summer writing workshops on memoir and creative non-fiction at the University of San Francisco’s Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation, which sponsors workshops for published and developing writers.

  • Patti Smith: Wing an Exhibition of Photographs by Patti Smith on View for One Week Only at San Francisco Art Institute in Collaboration with Kurimanzutto
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patti Smith: Wing An exhibition of photographs by Patti Smith on view for one week only at San Francisco Art Institute in collaboration with kurimanzutto January 14–19, 2019 (San Francisco, CA, December 10, 2018) San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) and kurimanzutto are honored to announce Wing, an exhibition of photographs by visual artist, writer, and performer, Patti Smith. Presented from January 14–19, 2019, at the Diego Rivera Gallery at SFAI’s historic Chestnut Street campus, the exhibition features a selection of photographs centered on Smith’s connection to fellow artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The exhibition, which runs concurrently with the FOG Design+Art fair, is open and free to the public. This show focuses on Smith’s strong ties to the artistic and literary movements pursued during travels to Mexico. Presented in the same space as Rivera’s 1931 fresco, The Making of a Fresco Showing the Building of a City, the exhibition sparks a direct dialogue between Smith’s imagery and the subjects of her intimate gaze. In her work, Smith reflects upon the timeless act of artistic creation and alchemy that unites artists by referring to a brotherhood of mental bonds that keeps ideas alive. In this way, the artist expresses her kinship to Mexico and solidarity with its revolutionary people— a sentiment demonstrated during performances and visits to the country over the years. During these trips, Smith composed and dedicated poetry to figures such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, Isamu Noguchi, Roberto Bolaño, and the habitués of the Café La Habana, which included Octavio Paz and Che Guevara.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [email protected] SEEKING CIVILIZATION: Art and Cartography A GROUP EXHIBITION ABOUT THE POLITICS OF WAYFINDING March 23 – May 6, 2017 Opening Reception: Thursday, March 23, 6-8PM Miguel Angel Ríos, Le Premier Voyage a L'inconnu, 1992-93, Cibachrome mounted on pleated canvas with push pins, 63 x 126 inches (160 x 320 cm) March 2, 2016 – San Francisco – Gallery Wendi Norris is pleased to present Seeking Civilization: Art and Cartography, a group exhibition featuring San Francisco-based or represented artists Michael Arcega, Val Britton, Guillermo Galindo, Taraneh Hemami, Omar Mismar, Miguel Angel Ríos and Adrien Segal. Expanding on Robert Storr’s seminal 1994 exhibition, Mapping, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, which highlighted works by Ríos, Seeking Civilization: Art and Cartography offers a timely re-contextualization of the cartographic narrative in contemporary art and the politics of wayfinding. Including works ranging from deconstructed colonial maps to neon light installations documenting personal journeys in search of love, featured artworks investigate and reflect on nationhood, citizenship, migration, identity politics, evolving cities, climate change, and the relationship between freedom and borders. Curated in the same anthological style as the original 1994 MoMA exhibition, Seeking Civilization: Art and Cartography unites work across a wide range of materials and scales, and presents new, never-before-seen contemporary artworks alongside seminal post-colonial works from the 1990’s. Anchoring the exhibition is Miguel Angel Ríos’ Le Premier Voyage a L'inconnu, a large-scale Cibachrome print mounted on hand-pleated canvas and attached to the wall using push pins.

Staff recommends that these terms commence on June 1, 2010 and expire on May 31, 2013 for Kevin Chen and Nick Dong. For Celeste Howell staff recommends that the term commence on December 1, 2010 and expire on November 30, 2013. The PAAC is a nine­member standing advisory committee of the Cultural Affairs Commission. The PAAC and its duties were established by the City’s 1989 Percent for Art Ordinance (No. 11086 C.M.S.), which defines the PAAC as “a professionally qualified citizen committee recommended by the Oakland Arts Council [later renamed the Cultural Affairs Commission] and approved by City Council to oversee quality control of the public art program, its projects, and to recommend to the Cultural Arts Division the sites, scope of project, artworks and artists for the public art projects.” FISCAL IMPACT Acceptance of this recommendation will not result in any new expenditure of City funds. The PAAC is a volunteer advisory body and there is no financial appropriation for this committee.
