THE FUTURE OF SFAI

SFAI Acquisition by USF, Action Requested by Concerned Alumni
Dear Alumni,
We are concerned Alumni of SFAI, and we've put together an open letter to the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco Art Institute and the University of San Francisco covering issues surrounding the proposed acquisition of SFAI by the University of San Francisco (USF).
If you haven't already, please read and sign by going to the link below. Our apologies for any repeats of this email.
"Whereas the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) may no longer continue to exist as an autonomous educational entity and its future survival may depend on its acquisition by the University of San Francisco (USF). We, concerned Alumni of SFAI, cautiously look forward to this next chapter in the school's long history but have some practical concerns that should be addressed and become part of any agreement moving forward between both parties if the school becomes the San Francisco Art Institute at the University of San Francisco."
*Beware requests for donations are from iPetition. NOT for SFAI or sfartistsalumni.org

Liz Miller Kovacs (MFA'00), Super Natural.
Los Angeles-based artists Lawrence Gipe and Beth Davila Waldman (BFA'05) organized this survey of a diverse group of 19 artists that challenge our culture’s entrenched conceptions regarding landscape, critically re-examining the genre as a mediated view of nature and a construction of centuries of aesthetic processing, demarcation and colonial expansion.
