Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) was a Japanese American artist and arts advocate who worked to integrate arts education into the standard curriculum of San Francisco's public schools. Although Asawa is best known for her looped-wire sculptures, this exhibition explores her lifelong dedication to arts activism through selected projects from the Alvarado School Arts Workshop curriculum, an artist-in-residence program she cofounded with architect and fellow parent Sally Woodbridge at Alvarado Elementary School in 1968. The presentation examines Asawa's belief that art is essential to cultivating a fuller sense of self through teaching materials, workshops, and collaborative projects.
