SOMArts is seeking volunteers to support its' 20th Annual Día de Los Muertos exhibition closing reception on Friday, November 8, 2019.
About the Exhibition
Now in its 20th year, SOMArts’ Día de Los Muertos exhibition is one of the most internationally diverse Day of the Dead celebrations in the United States. Día de Los Muertos at SOMArts merges traditional altars with contemporary installations, continuing to be a multigenerational gathering of remembrance while asserting the role of art as a platform for collective action.
Curated by Rio Yañez and Carolina Quintanilla, this year’s exhibition features special altar structures to honor and manifest founding curator Rene Yañez’s vision for his final Día de Los Muertos exhibition, titled City of Souls, a reference to his 2001 exhibition City of Miracles. City of Souls invites artists who are most directly impacted by gentrification and displacement to engage audience members in dialogue on the future of San Francisco’s cultural identity.
Housed in a translucent, labyrinthine city, this exhibition meditates on San Francisco’s rapidly changing landscape, asking artists and visitors: Who are the ancestors we need to call in to help fight for the soul of the City? What are the people, places, and institutions lost to time that have shaped us? What kind of future can we collectively envision for San Francisco?

Mission Statement
SOMArts leverages the power of art as a tool for social change through multi-disciplinary events and exhibitions. Equipping artists with space, mentorship, and support they need to shift perspectives and innovate solutions, SOMArts fosters access to arts and culture for collective liberation and self-determination.
Description
SOMArts (South of Market Arts, Resources, Technology, and Services) is an independent nonprofit that operates the South of Market Cultural Center, one of four city-owned cultural facilities in San Francisco. The San Francisco cultural centers were established through the support and advocacy of cultural communities who made a successful case that the city was not providing equitable funding to arts organizations that were multicultural and that primarily served populations that did not historically have equitable access to the arts.
SOMArts is beloved in San Francisco as a truly multicultural, community-built space where cutting-edge events and counterculture commingle with traditional art forms in a way that is open, engaging and inspiring. It is an incubator for ideas that lie outside the mainstream of contemporary art funding and consumption: the first Burning Man art exhibits were at SOMArts, as were many of the initial D.I.Y. craft fairs and performances.
SOMArts is an essential resource to the residents of San Francisco--more than 40,000 people a year visit the center, and more than 80 nonprofits and arts groups use SOMArts for their annual classes, fundraisers, and performances because it is the most versatile and affordable large-capacity arts space in the heart of the city.
