COMMUNITY-BASED ARTS: SKYWATCHERS
For more than a decade I was collaborator and creative thought partner for Skywatchers’ founding Lead Artist Anne Bluethenthal, as well as administrative lead and visual artist-in-residence for the Skywatchers Ensemble, a radically relational and enduring community arts collaboration in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.
I was lead artist for the "Opulence Project," a series of performance portraits inviting participants to imagine their most opulent selves, and "Memorials Project," an annual interfaith collaboration to honor the lives of our neighbors who've died on city streets that year. In my administrative capacity, I was communications and marketing lead, organizational strategist, collaborating visual artist, grant writer and documentarian. The below images were made in winter 2025 of Towards Opulence, the Opera, performed at EastSide Arts Alliance.
