This past meeting included the following speakers: ZER01 Social Media Manager, Danielle Siembieda OFFSpace co-founder, Kathrine Worel Micaëla Gallery owner, Micaela van Zwoll Each presenter explained their role in the…

The Gray Area Foundation for the Arts constantly puts on phenomenal events, lectures, exhibitions, and facilitates classes for the community. Summer of Smart (SoS) is another project that puts both the organization and San Francisco on the map, globally.
