These tactics may satisfy individuals whose position depends on employing policies or implementing strategies that promote specific agendas for a specific constituency. As an artist, it is more important to create a platform that moves us past alliances, and begins a dialogue that informs, questions, and in some cases even satires our divisive issues. Without this type of introspection, we are in danger of having apathy rule our senses. We can easily succumb to a national mob mentality, and ignore individual accounts and memories. With my work I am creating an intersection where body and place, memory and fact, are merged to reexamine human interactions and cultural conditions to create a narrative that requires us to be present and profound. https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/cheryl-derricotte daily 0.75 2020-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1589234523341-IEQWK3A17HDA0EKVWBD2/21stCenturyCapital+.jpg Cheryl Derricotte - Cheryl Derricotte (secretary) Cheryl Derricotte is a visual artist and her favorite mediums are glass and paper.

Inspired by “productive discomfort” and a multiplicity of identities, my curatorial focus is on projects that push boundaries of scale, scope, medium, venue, and dialogue, and my cross-discipline personal work engages symbols, identity, communication, and the unseen. My projects have appeared in KQED, SF Chronicle, at YBCA, USF, JCCSF, Open Engagement, and many others.

Some of my most significant and early memories are connected with my passion for creating. Art has always given me a sense of comfort and identity. The people, places and events that profoundly affect me are the inspiration for my paintings, and I seek to give expression to my emotions related to these influences, rather than merely illustrate them. I use my role as an artist to confront and engage people through my work by connecting with them on a visceral level. To this end, I continue to paint – out of a desire to create a bridge between my experiences and my audience. https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/kristine-mays daily 0.75 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1581534306764-RQ41QRVJHQZC47QBMADZ/190217-sfe-sflives-011.jpg Kristine Mays - Kristine Mays Kristine Mays, a San Francisco native has been an exhibiting artist since 1993.

These early memories prompted my nascent series of unique crocheted, ceramic sculptures, "Mending." Employing ordinary household or decorative pottery, broken and discarded, I combined traditional crafts into a dimensional woven tapestry, stripping both cloth and ceramic of their intended function. In my new series of sculptures "Cheesecake," the works have transformed from something broken, needing mending to fully determined and self-aware. Being Black and Queer, the full complexity of the moniker Cheesecake, used to objectify an attractive, sexualized man or woman is not lost to me. Instead I embrace it, subverting the demeaning implication in describing my sculpture. Weaving textiles around large, broken ceramics is a stand-in for the feelings of anxiety, fear, and despair associated with the permanence of racism and homophobia. Combining lacy, embellished fabrics with ceramics contributed by students and faculty from California State University at Long Beach, my sculptural hybrids embody both danger and seduction. I am the founder of Crochet Jam, a community-arts project infused with folk-art traditions that foster a creative culture in cooperative relationships. Born in Kernersville, North Carolina, I earned a M.Div. from Duke University Divinity School in 1986. I was an artist-in-residence at the de Young Museum, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and the Vermont Studio Center. Grants and Awards include Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue, NY, the San Francisco Foundation and the San Francisco Arts Commission Cultural Equity Program. I received the 2014 Eureka Fellow, awarded by the Fleishhacker Foundation in San Francisco. My work has been featured in the LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, 7×7 Magazine, Artnet, the San Francisco Examiner, and Brian Boucher’s Daily Dispatch.

This body of work emerged from the earlier series, Mending, using everyday household pottery crocheted into a fabric of dimensional tapestry. Cheesecake is a series of knotted, twisted fabric and yarn, embellished and integrated with shards of broken ceramics. The process is developed intuitively with attention given to balance, form, structure, color, and texture. The underpinnings of the work come from African-American quilting, sewing, mending, and crocheting. Working at Headlands will allow for exploration of scale. I’ve also been thinking of adding additional materials in my practice which would be difficult to conceive in limited space.” https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/nancy-cato daily 0.75 2020-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1582134113868-Z48DGK2DF4VN4810ES7U/TomboyKey.jpg Nancy Cato - Nancy Cato Nancy Cato, born and raised in New Haven, has been creating whimsical and socially conscious illustrations for the past 10 yrs.

Lucas’s ongoing project, The Museum of Sentimental Taxonomy (formerly Objects to Remember You By: An Index of Sentiment), asks participants to share these intimate artifacts with her, which she then arranges and photographs against a plain black background, as the participants relate the stories attached to each personal totem. https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1588194454850-60VQD1IORXWDODJAVRRL/600_pharm-1.jpg Tim Roseborough - Tim Roseborough https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/melorra-green daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1588192631289-67EKOEN0RNHDD26EZTP3/AroHa_02.jpg Melorra Green Melorra Green https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/melonie-green daily 0.75 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1588192835971-YYUHPZE5MXT2FA4ECMEI/image-asset.png Melonie Green - Melanie green https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/sydney-cain daily 0.75 2020-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1588194176571-4R8K8ZIZNVMF6RAYB8WA/veilledit.jpg Sydney Cain - Sydney Cain Sydney Cain, aka sage stargate, was born and raised in San Francisco.

My love for the visual arts started with collage making earlier in my life, and then later I began to paint. Each of my paintings a has context and a meaning. My work is generally inspired by an emotion or subject, and then I move to express my reaction in the abstract. I really try to emote using colors and forms. I write about all of my pieces, as I believe each one of them represents a story I am telling. I really strive to see the connection between my emotional view point and my art. Some of my earlier work with collages focused around race and ethnicity, and I am planning to incorporate this more into my future work. My life and work as a physician is seen in my work, though not always directly. My paintings are often about sickness, recovery, loss and triumph, as these themes comprise of a large part of my daily life. - Ako Jacintho Education: Brown University, Sc.B University of Massachusetts Medical School, MD degree University of CA, San Francisco Medical Center, Medical Residency https://www.threepointnineartcollective.com/michael-ross daily 0.75 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/1589937293550-A7RJMOGC1IKHRE9C99RZ/_New+Old+Healing+Ritual__+M.+Ross_2018_Acrylic+paint%2C+color+pencil+on+paper_26+x+40+inches.jpg Michael Ross - Michael Ross Michael Ross was born in Laurel, Mississippi.

Renée Jones - S. Renée Jones I've been creating images for more than 40 years. I stumbled across photography as a teenager playing with the found treasure of a cameras my father brought home after cleaning someone's basement or attic. I grew up in San Francisco's Mission District with my nine brothers and sisters raised by my single parent father. I was on the younger end, stuck between two brothers, and the older ones called us "the three little ones". This caused an unusual kind of isolation for me, from which I had to figure out how to overcome. That's where photography came in. Playing around with a camera (minus film for the longest time) allowed me to hide when I needed, be the center of everything when I wanted and pay close attention to what mattered; what told the story. As I grew older, struggling through the reality of an absent mother, the constant penetration of racism and sexism, poverty and low self-esteem, i looked toward photography as my therapy. Robert Henri, writer of "The Art Spirit" wrote--"Art is the inevitable consequence of growth and is the manifestation of the principles of its origin". I took from this and ask myself when creating an image, What brings pleasure to my eyes, what causes my soul to connect and gather in that which surrounds me, what moves beyond mimicry, the splash of color or visual trickery, leading me to my next moment of healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/fce4ba69-d4ce-4e43-a19c-15368f6eb11e/Screenshot+2023-11-28+at+10.57.38%E2%80%AFAM.png S.

She wants to get to the root of lost memories, especially in relation to migration, whether the move forced or initiated by a search for new opportunities. We all have a migration story in our bloodlines. She studies the fragments of memory and repurposes them. The lives of her ancestors are the catalyst behind her artwork and their stories are woven into every detail. Why did they leave? What were they hoping to find? What remains? She wants to explore every fracture, fold and glitch to release the trauma that lives inside. Her work has been shown at galleries and film festivals throughout the country including including the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia, the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) - a Smithsonian affiliate, the San Francisco Art Commission Main Gallery, Southern Exposure and Root Division in San Francisco, and New York’s Wassaic Project. As a storyteller, she traveled the country and telling the story of exploring her ancestry with The Moth Mainstage at Lincoln Center in New York, in addition to touring with them on stages in San Francisco, Portland, OR, Omaha, NE and Westport, CT. Her story aired on NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour in October 2019. She received her MFA from California College of Arts in Spring 2022. Her earlier written work was featured in the Museum of the African Diaspora’s I’ve Known Rivers Project, and New Jersey Dramatists Which Way to America at the Jersey City Museum and Puffin Cultural Forum. She has worked in production in print and digital media for companies such as The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Republic, California Sunday Magazine and Slack, in addition to working as a teaching artist with Women’s Project and Productions in New York. She has been invited to be a speaker or guest teacher at multiple conferences, colleges and high school campuses, including the being the keynote speaker at the 2021 Oregon Heritage Conference, 2019 Kentucky Borderlands Conference, Feminist Border Arts Film Festival at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, N.M., and Design Tech High School in Redwood City, C.A. In addition to discussing her research and approach to storytelling, she also enjoys discussing the importance of raising marginalized voices and how to mindfully create a diverse and inclusive environment at her speaking and teaching engagements. Trina is included in the Museum of the African Diaspora’s (MoAD) Emerging Artist Program 2022-2023 which will include a solo exhibition in October 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4439ada101a5790d5dbbe5/a4e8e218-9c49-4f80-8ab0-065de3a589dd/IMG_7684.jpeg Trina Michelle Robinson - Bay Area Now 9 Yerba Buena Center for the Arts October 6, 2023 through May 5, 2024 Bay Area Now 9 is the ninth iteration of YBCA’s signature triennial exhibition highlighting artists working throughout the Bay Area’s nine counties.
