EAC at SFAI for SFAQ

The EAC went to the San Francisco Art Institute this past Saturday for the release party of the first issue of the San Francisco Arts Quarterly.

San Francisco Arts Quarterly SFAQ MANIFESTO

The mission of the San Francisco Arts Quarterly is to provide the growing arts community of San Francisco with a free publication aimed at enabling galleries, artists, collectors, and the general public to connect and network, facilitating the expansion and flourishing of San Francisco’s art driven economy. SFAQ is a newspaper and calendar that presents the public with a quarterly update on art community events and offer insight into the current and future state of a variety of arts throughout the city.

Jeannine Przyblyski, the Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, lead the panel discussion for the night. The discussion ranged from real estate, advertising, collectors, to the purpose of the individual artist within the community.  Overall, the discussion was interesting, but felt like more of a contemplation on the state of the arts in the marketplace and its place in the city than it did on the purpose of the SFAQ.  It wasn’t a bad thing I just wish there was more discussion  on the plans of the SFAQ and what the creators future endeavors were to help facilitate the constantly growing arts community in San Francisco.  We’re all very excited to see this publication grow and become a major source for San Franciscans to access what’s happening in the city around them.

it was a beautiful evening
