As a supporter of creativity, social transformation, and community engagement, we extend this special invitation for an intimate VIP reception to Galvanize, a benefit party to enable Gray Area and ZERO1 to regenerate San Francisco’s cultural ecosystem during this critical moment.

On Friday December 13, 2019, we welcome you to join a select group of local thought leaders, artists, and visionaries at our beautiful Grand Theater in San Francisco’s Mission District. We have assembled a thoughtfully curated program presenting Gray Area and ZERO1’s unified 2020 vision. You will also get an exclusive first preview of Gray Area’s upcoming exhibition The End of You developed by our Experiential Space Research Lab artists.

Following the reception, stay for a night of live audiovisual immersions spotlighting a spectacular selection of local artists. We look forward to your joining us in celebrating our vibrant community and reimagining our collective future together through the next phase of our growth.

Proceeds from the Galvanize Benefit Party support Gray Area and ZERO1’s programs in community arts education, research and incubation, and international cultural exchange. Our organizations redefine the role of the arts in innovation and social impact, reaching over 100,000 people each year.

Gray Area is San Francisco's premier cultural hub for applying creativity towards civic impact and social transformation. Through conferences, exhibits, workshops, and events, we bring together the diverse cultures and communities of the Bay Area to experience, discuss, and experiment with ways that promote creative engagement with our changing digital society.

ZERO1 is a nonprofit arts organization that aims to address complex social challenges by producing community-driven new media and digital art projects. We believe that artistic experimentation with emergent technologies inspires novel creative strategies and broadens our critical understanding of the world. Through a global network of partners, we bridge governmental, academic, corporate, and cultural worlds to build engaged and vibrant communities that drive social action.
