JANUARY 17TH - MARCH 8TH, 2026
The San Francisco Bay Area is home to many ‘Sanctuary Cities’ and has historically been a refuge for many marginalized communities; however, our current political state has fractured the meaning of what sanctuary is and should be. This show considers what our response should be as artists in defining and creating sanctuary. We encourage artists to explore all possibilities - spatial, spiritual, and political.
