Celebrating Local Artists 

The Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation (RWCPAF) and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) launched their annual art exhibition March 22 in the CZI Community Space.  The exhibit, “Re-discover, Reimagine, and Revive” aims to showcase diverse interpretations of this theme and includes intricate digital art and wooden sculptures. 

RWCPAF made a community-wide call for artists of all ages and abilities who are living or working in San Mateo County, California. Nine artists, including two sculptors, were selected to exhibit their artwork as part of the annual series.  

“For the first time, our exhibition showcases works of two sculptors, adding a three-dimensional element to our showcase. The exhibition also features artists from different generations, proving that creativity transcends time and age barriers,” says Pamela Estes, President of the Redwood City Parks and Arts Foundation. 

The pieces in the exhibit were selected by members of RWCPAF’s art advisory work group, composed of six local community members of diverse backgrounds, to implement annual art exhibitions in the CZI Community Space. CZI and RWCPAF welcomed the nine artists into the space with a celebration and meet-and-greet on March 22. Their work will remain in the Community Space through the spring of 2025.

“We’re excited to welcome nine incredible new artists into the space and celebrate local artistry in San Mateo County,” says Alma Pulido, Community Affairs Program Officer at CZI. “We invite community members to join us in celebrating the unique talents and life experiences of these artists, who are sharing with us a piece of their identities.”
