The situation of the artist in America is not one in which

unengaged with it. The emerging artist is thrown back on her
own devices -- "Why do I do this? For my peers, for those who
care about art, or for myself?"

works of Bay Area artists from past ARTworkSF shows that were voted
"Best of Show." The works in this exhibit will represent a full
spectrum of artistic expression culled from a diverse selection
of media. ARTworkSF's mission is to make fine art accessible to
everyone and provide a forum for exposure for Bay Area artists

at all stages of their careers and well-deserved recognition of
those artists willing to share their visions with the rest of us.

A unique view of privatization, Uncommon Knowledge takes place
inside UC Berkeley Extension as plans unfold to shut-down its
historic San Francisco campus in favor of a profitable private
development. A surprisingly human story and a revealing look
into higher education, Uncommon Knowledge is a hauntingly
beautiful portrait of a campus and the community it served.
* What is time, my love? (premiere) - 07/20/2007
http://www.artsandmedia.net/calendar/events/index.php?

What is time? The answers are as varied as the human population.
Yet, collectively we are moving faster than ever before, to
develop ourselves and to develop the third world - globalizing
time for production and consumption. This film questions how our
human concept of time influences the decisions we make, as
revealed through the stories of relief and rebuilding in
post-tsunami Sri Lanka.

income levels.
