The Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announced the opening of a new art exhibit in Redwood City aimed at building an inclusive community in San Mateo County, where 7 local artists will have the opportunity to showcase their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Redwood City art exhibit emerged from a community-wide call for artists of all ages and abilities who live or work in San Mateo County, the organizations said in a statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, 7 artists were selected to exhibit their artwork in a broad, stimulating and captivating way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary goal of the art exhibits is to promote local artists by displaying their artwork at the Chan Zuckerberg Community Initiative (CZI) Space and provide an opportunity to promote community education, awareness, and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArt inspires new ways of thinking about the world, breaks barriers and forges community bonds. Our sense of community is an important part of being human. The act of bridging the gap with other humans, regardless of our differences, helps us grow and learn more about each other and ourselves,\u201d said Pamela Estes, president of the Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that it is possible to create a more inclusive, diverse and vibrant community through art. \u201cActivating this dedicated CZI Community Space for community artists and the public to come together is the heart and soul of this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven artists who will present their work at the art exhibition in Redwood City will be Jos\u00e9 Castro, Elizabeth G\u00f3mez, Winsor Kinkade, Pedro Rivas L\u00f3pez, Manuel Ortiz, Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez and Laurie Satizabal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manuel Ortiz, documentary photographer and journalist, explained that this is the opening of a space to create community through different forms of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"It will be an exhibition that will include everything from painting to documentary photography. The idea is for the community to discuss various local issues through artists from the area." <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"What I tried to do is to capture and make visible those migrant trades and professions that we cannot do without, but are not always recognized," said Ortiz, who will exhibit a series of photographs documenting part of his work in different places in San Mateo County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibit will be located at 801 Jefferson Ave. in Redwood City and will be open to the public on the last Thursday of every month, beginning April 18 and closing August 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
