COMMUNITY-BASED ARTIST: SKYWATCHERS
For more than a decade I’ve been a creative thought partner for Artistic Director Anne Bluethenthal, organizational lead, and visual artist-in-residence for the Skywatchers Ensemble, a radically relational and enduring community arts collaboration in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.
As Director of Community Development, I am fundraiser, communications and marketing lead, organizational strategist and collaborating visual artist, leading the "Opulence Project," a series of performance portraits, and "Memorials Project," an annual interfaith collaboration to honor the lives of our neighbors who've died on city streets that year.
