It's been a busy year for the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. After working tirelessly to raise funds for the #ReviveTheGrand campaign, the foundation is debuting the Grand Theater's vast, renovated space that will be used for art and tech exhibitions, philanthropy, and community outreach programs. The foundation has provided workshops that not only teach tech and digital media skills to an incredibly diverse range of residents, but inspire creativity through these tools. Despite the ongoing head-butting between artists and tech companies in this city, there is art, not just apps, to be made with our amazing advancements in technology. This Gray Area Festival will kick off a new era of important community resources by gathering artists and philanthropists to discuss the impact art and tech can make on culture. There will be a conference, performances, workshops, and a large-scale exhibition — and Thursday night's opening with renegade art organization F.A.T. GOLD is free.
The Gray Area Festival begins at 7 p.m. and continues through Sunday at Gray Area Art and Technology, 2665 Mission St., S.F. Opening is free; weekend admission is $25-$250; grayareafestival.io.
