Root Division's 4th Annual Holiday Gift & Art Sale:
Christmas Island Getaway

Date: Saturday, December 13, 7 - 10 pm
Sliding Scale Suggested Donation: $1-$10

40 local artists and artisans come together for a one night only sale.

This is your chance to buy gifts for everyone on your list while supporting local arts and crafts. Items for sale include handmade jewelry, collage envelopes, tiny ceramic sculptures, fingerless gloves, recycled clothing, eye pillows, illustrations, painted rocks, screen-printed t-shirts, dolls, calendars, small paintings and drawings, and much more!

This year's island theme means DJ Samoa Boy will be spinning hot vacation tunes and our tiki bar will serve up Caribbean cocktails to enjoy while you shop. The famous Root Division Mystery Tree will no doubt inspire you to shake a box or two. And as if that were not enough, an encore appearance of the Reveling Polar Bears will provide the perfect opportunity for holiday snapshots.

Don't miss this opportunity to avoid the stress of holiday shopping and celebrate with us!

(Proceeds support local artists and Root Division's Youth Education Program.)

ABOUT ROOT DIVISION:
Root Division is an arts and arts education non-profit located in the Mission District of San Francisco. Root Division's mission is to improve appreciation and access to the visual arts by connecting personal inspiration and community participation. We provide subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange for their service in creating shared learning opportunities for the community. Artists develop creatively and professionally by teaching art to underserved youth, leading adult education classes, and producing exhibitions that showcase local emerging artwork. By combining multiple opportunities for creative exchange, Root Division cultivates an artistic ecosystem that enriches life throughout the Bay Area.

Root Division is supported in part by grants from Grants for the Arts: SF Hotel Tax Fund & Voluntary Arts Contribution Fund, The San Francisco Foundation, Walter & Elise Haas Fund, and the Potrero Nuevo Fund. The Second Saturday Exhibition Series is sponsored by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, the San Francisco Arts Commission through a Cultural Equity Grant/Organizational Project Grant, the Fleishhacker Foundation, and the Zellerbach Family Foundation.
