JAM Workshop 50th: Legacy, Music, Spoken Word & Light Table Reunion
Fifty years ago, 12 artists in San Francisco's Nihonmachi founded "Art for the People" with practicality and social inclusion. They expressed their talents by serving their communities and instituting a new movement of conscientious artists and supporters - a movement that continues with a new generation of artists. Please join us in celebrating the contributions of a dedicated band of artists and welcome a new generation of artists practicing "Art for the People."
