Art can make people care and act. Art can inspire new ways of thinking about the world we live in, can be instrumental in breaking down barriers, and can build community bonds. In 2022, the Foundation will launch an art program at the CZI Community Space to create opportunities for San Mateo County artists of all ages and abilities to showcase their artwork.
Meet the Current Cohort of Artists
The Foundation is excited to be working with the current cohort of artists who are exhibiting their artwork at the CZI Community Space.
Read about the March 22nd art exhibition opening HERE.
The art exhibition in the CZI Community Space will be seen and enjoyed by persons who attend or participate in events hosted by nonprofits based in and serving San Mateo County, as well as Redwood City and San Mateo County government agencies who book the space. Some of these events are open to the public. Because of the high demand to book the space,
there are currently no public viewing hours for the art exhibition.

Art Advisory Work Group Members
The Foundation created an Arts Programming Plan for the CZI Community Space and established a thoughtful process to help set a vision for ongoing creative community engagement. The Foundation works with an Art Advisory Work Group, composed of San Mateo County residents from different backgrounds who serve a one-year term, to implement the Arts Programming Plan which includes selecting the exhibition theme, choosing the artists who will participate in the exhibition, serving as liaisons with the artists, conducting community outreach and hosting semi-annual art exhibitions.
The main purpose of the art exhibitions is 1) to promote San Mateo County artists by exhibiting their artwork at the CZI Community Space and 2) to provide an opportunity to bring the community together to promote education, awareness, and understanding.
The 2023-2024 Art Advisory Work Group members are:
