Women 2.0 video series producer Jazmin Hupp and I had a great conversation with Josette Melchor, founder and executive director of the Gray Area Foundation for the the Arts, as the newest foundation’s space on Taylor St. prepares to open. She’s been working to open a gallery and space for students and artists in the Tenderloin since 2005. The purpose? As Melchor puts it: “We are particularly interested in curating exhibitions that explore and interrogate the ‘gray areas’ of the arts: the intersection of classical and urban, convention and deviance, art and technology.”
In our most recent In Conversation interview, Melchor talks about the importance of arts education, choosing a physical location, and what her organization teaches artists about digital marketing. I could listen over and over.
