FLOURISH: ART OF ABUNDANCE

Flourish: Art of Abundance is more than a fundraiser—it is a celebration of accessible art, shared knowledge, and Root Division’s creative community.

Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 6:00–10:00 PM
at Root Division, 1131 Mission Street, San Francisco

Flourish: Art of Abundance invites artists, collectors, and supporters to gather for an evening that reimagines collecting as a joyful, inclusive, and community-driven act. Rooted in the belief that art thrives through abundance—not scarcity—the event offers an opportunity to collect work from local artists while celebrating the people and relationships that sustain creative ecosystems.

Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring:

  • 80+ affordable, buy-now artworks
  • A panel discussion on how to start an art collection, moderated by Lauren Braun with collectors Wayee Chu and Storm Griffith
  • Insightful conversation on community-driven patronage and collecting as a form of care
  • Delectable bites from The Pawn Shop
  • A lively gathering of artists, collectors, and Root Division’s extended community
  • An afterparty with DJ Umami of the San Francisco Giants

Flourish supports Root Division’s mission to provide studio space, exhibitions, and professional development for artists in the Bay Area. By participating, guests ensure that art—and the communities that sustain it—continue to flourish.
