A new installation and public art project led by artist and youth educator Evan Bissell combines his painting and artistic vision with multiple writing, arts education, and creative community projects with Bay Area Youth. Bissell's vibrant portraits, created in collaboration with the young people he works with, are both at Intersection as well as
at public locales throughout San Francisco. Part of a larger Arts Commission funded "Civic Life Project," this project also includes public art, youth based workshops and civic engagement opportunities celebrating the importance and impact of writing, arts education and creative community in individual and social transformation.
