“Energy That Is All Around” Exhibition
Grey Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Mission School features works by five artists—Chris Johanson, Margaret Kilgallen, Alicia McCarthy, Barry McGee, and Ruby Neri—who lived in San Francisco’s Mission district in the early 1990s. By 2002, they were identified as key members of the so-called Mission School, which over the past two decades has achieved a cult-like status in the Bay Area. Celebrating lowbrow street aesthetics, graffiti, and folk art, the movement flourished in the gritty urban setting of this south-of-Market-Street neighborhood. With the exception of Kilgallen, who died prematurely in 2001, all of the artists continue to collaborate today. The exhibition is organized by the San Francisco Art Institute.
