ABOUT THE ART

I am honored to partner with the San Francisco Ballet because they are a world-class arts institution with world-class artists. They are considered not only one of the best ballet companies in the United States but in the world, making them perhaps the most elite cultural institution in San Francisco.

These times are especially challenging for an arts organization like the San Francisco Ballet because of its in-person, up-close and collaborative nature. While their entire season is remote / digital, they still need to COVID test their dancers and staff multiple times per week. I am proud to support this group of artists through this tough time.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Fnnch believes art is for everyone. Only 5% of the Bay Area’s residents and visitors tour its modern art museums. Street art and murals are art for the other 95%, acting to inspire and engage them with the arts. When fnnch moved to San Francisco, he became obsessed with street art but felt there were not enough people pushing the art form forward. Deciding to be the change he wanted to see in the world, he hit the streets with multi-layered stencils and spray paint.

Since then he has built a strong social media presence with over 62,000 followers on Instagram, has been featured on the cover of the SF Chronicle and by brands like J.Crew, TOMS Shoes, and Benefit Cosmetics, and has had gallery shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. His art can be found in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hoboken, Miami, Chicago, St. Louis and Tel Aviv.
