In this episode, we speak to ArtSpan’s Executive Director Joen Madonna about what it means to celebrate 50 years of SF Open Studios. Shrey Purohit is the artist and curator, who comes to ArtSpan with a deep appreciation for mobilizing community and advancing the careers of emerging artists. ArtSpan believes in the power of art to enrich lives. For 50 years, ArtSpan has championed an inclusive art experience and provided diverse audiences with an authentic connection to local art and artists. The SFOS Exhibition hosts a number of in-person events, including ArtLaunch, the SF Open Studios kick-off celebration, on September 19, and a collector event on October 2, 2024. SF Open Studios is FREE to attend. Go to artspan.org for more info!

Transmission Studio is a series of intimate conversations with the independent artists and community-based organizations living and working within the vibrant, complicated and ever-evolving ecosystem of San Francisco arts and culture. It aspires to inform, inspire and more importantly spark meaningful and critical dialogue on the state of the artists who remain committed to this city in spite of unprecedented social, economic and political challenges.
