More Flavor Mission Greenbelt Project Launch Party

  • Greenbelt_large

For the duration of the gallery's Winter Session, Polk Street's San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery space will serve as the command center for the Mission Greenbelt Project. The endeavor, lead by artist Amber Hasselbring, proposes that neighbors and officials unite their efforts in order to plant a verdant highway of native Californian species that umbilically links Franklin Square Park with Dolores Park. Reminiscent of the Guerrilla Gardening project, whose participants "illicitly cultivate" derelict urban lots into lush oases, the Mission Greenbelt Project employs far more legal tactics by interpreting existing laws that allow residents to co-opt sections of sidewalk for greening purposes. The campaign kick-off party features artists, environmentalist speakers, and local politicians.
