Archive Room: Ruth Asawa
06 Aug, 2025 - 05 Jul, 2026
Ruth Asawa (1926鈥�2013) was a Japanese American artist and arts advocate who worked to integrate arts education into the standard curriculum of San Francisco鈥檚 public schools. Although Asawa is best known for her looped-wire sculptures, Archive Room: Ruth Asawa explores her lifelong dedication to arts activism through selected projects from the Alvarado School Arts Workshop curriculum, an artist-in-residence program she cofounded with architect and fellow parent Sally Woodbridge at Alvarado Elementary School in 1968. The teaching materials, workshops, and collaborative projects presented in this compact, single-gallery presentation explores Asawa鈥檚 belief that art is essential to cultivating a fuller sense of self.
