The Role of Art in a Period of Political Turmoil
A group of local artists has organized an art show and public discussion about the intersection of art and politics. “The Role of Art in a Period of Political Turmoil” runs through Nov. 30. To celebrate the launch, there will be two events held at Spark Arts Gallery, 4229 18th St., in San Francisco:
Opening Reception Thursday, Nov. 7, 6 to 9 p.m.
“Art as Activism,” a panel discussion co-hosted by Manny’s Tuesday, Nov. 12, 6:30 p.m. *CANCELLED*
The San Francisco Public Press is honored to have been chosen to be a recipient of proceeds from art sales from the show, and we will be attending both events — come find us and say hello!

SFUSD Board of Education
Two challengers are running against Jenny Lam, who holds one of seven seats on the city’s Board of Education. Lam serves as the mayor’s education adviser, and was appointed to the board in January because of Matt Haney’s departure from the board to step into his elected role as District 6 Supervisor. Candidates Kirsten Strobel and Bobby Coleman entered the race after the school board voted to destroy a controversial mural at Washington High School, a decision that was later amended to call for the mural to be covered rather than destroyed. We asked all three candidates about their vision for improving student success and how the district should be run.
