7. "I am convinced that the development of a culture of human rights throughout the world is one of the most important contributions that can be made to future generations. The foundation for this culture is enshrined in the principles of the Universal Declaration. A culture of human rights would result in a profound change in how individuals, communities, states and the international community view relationships in all matters. Such a culture would make human rights as much a part of the lives of individuals as are language, customs, the arts, faith and ties to place. In this culture, human rights would not be seen as the job of 'someone else,' but the obligation and duty of all." (José Ayala Lasso, the first United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights) (Inspiration for Community Mural)

14. SF Ballet Dance Camp Dance Camp About the Community Circle Dance Camp Community Circle Dance Camp (CCDC) is an exciting day-camp adventure that provides urban youth with a weeklong experience in dance, music, and visual art. CCDC is for boys and girls ages 7-14, and no previous dance experience is necessary. The staff of CCDC includes specially trained community-based teaching artists from throughout the Bay Area, and is augmented by collaborations with several community partners. The San Francisco Ballet Center for Dance Education believes in the power of positive regard and embraces the dancer in everyone.

15. SF Ballet Outreach and Education Over 25,000 people participate in our Community Programs annually, from school children, teachers, seniors, and Bay Area families to fellow artists, volunteers, hospitals, and the general public. Each year, San Francisco Ballet donates over 4,000 performance tickets to nonprofit organizations that serve many diverse Bay Area communities. We hope these programs provide introduction, enrichment, and opportunity for anyone to explore dance as a powerful and important cultural art form.

16. San Francisco Ballet Center for Dance Education 4 Amazing Ballet Facts A male dancer lifts over 1-1/2 tons worth of ballerinas during performances. Most ballerinas wear out 2-3 pairs of pointe shoes per week. One tutu costs up to $2,000 to make. The same tutu requires 60-90 hours of labor and over 100 yards of ruffle. Teacher Study Guides Dance education begins with awareness of the body and its creative potential. But understanding dance also includes experiences in perceiving, responding, viewing, and thinking critically about dance. This includes introducing students to historical, cultural, folkloric, and traditional experiences. This can be both a personal and a social experience. Teacher Study Guides are meant to be a resource for classroom teachers, students, and others to further explore dance. Dance is an art that uses non-verbal movement in an extraordinary way to create form, order, or a statement. Learning about dance can mean exploring different societies and periods of history and recognizing and respecting dance contributions from various cultures.

31. A place that could use art to improve conditions San Francisco Market Street Corridor

32. San Francisco Market Street Corridor “Long time residents of San Francisco recognize the irony of “Market Street,” given that (in the lower blocks) the primary commerce consists of drugs and flesh. Recent attention to our blighted street makes us wonder if finally, Market can rival the grand avenues we see in so many cities around the world: a working artery that connects business with residents, commercial with community. Such a revival would clearly have great effect on San Francisco real estate values, especially those properties emerging in South of Market neighborhoods whose residents would regularly travel Market Street”.
