Still feeling the glow from a love-filled Founders’ Fund Gathering last Saturday at @rootdivision !
🥳🥰🥹

We reconnected with the OG, caught up, and celebrated all that RD has become over so many years.

We also held our hearts in memory of our dear friend and RD Co-Founder— @suter.nathan who left this world way too soon almost a year ago 💔.

We’re continuing to collect support for the FOUNDERS’ FUND. Dedicated to Nathan’s legacy, donations to Founders’ Fund will support a studio for an artist whose art and service is committed to social justice.

To donate:
https://rootdivision.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=127

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event and/or contributed! ✨🩷✨ taken in Root Division by @mmansourprojects

As momentum builds at Pier 29, we’re highlighting more of the artists, writers, and cultural workers whose ideas will help bring color to our new public space. Their work reflects curiosity, experimentation, and the Bay Area’s long tradition of thinking differently.

Johanna Jackson is an artist whose sculptural and functional objects turn everyday forms into places of feeling, care, and quiet strangeness. Her practice blurs the line between the handmade and the poetic, often extending into collaborative furniture and domestic worlds.

Frank Smigiel is a curator, educator, and the Director of Arts Programming & Partnerships at Fort Mason Center. His work bridges performance, visual art, and queer histories through collaboration, conversation, and community energy.

Chris Ware is a storyteller and image-maker whose intricate, deeply human narratives explore memory, time, and the architecture of daily life. In books like Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, Building Stories, and Rusty Brown, he expands what comics can hold as both literature and visual art.

Alongside them are Michelle Mansour, Stephanie Fine Sasse, Jonn Herschend, and Mark Dion. Together, they’re part of the growing circle of voices informing Art + Water as we shape a lively, public, and deeply San Francisco space.

You can explore all of our visiting artists anytime at artpluswater.org! More to share soon.
