Jack Davis wore so many hats in the San Francisco art scene it would put that hat store on Valencia Street to shame. He coordinated the staging for hundreds of festivals, and protests. He was director of Intersection for the Arts. And most recently, he built Somarts into a space open for all kinds of events from APAture’s celebration of emerging Asian American artists to SRL rocket blasting robot attacks to multi-cultural Day of the Dead celebrations.
Most importantly, he created with a can-do attitude. His generosity benefited San Francisco artists and arts organizations. He saved Kearny Street Workshop, creating office space into the already cramped Somarts Cultural Center, when we lost our office in South Park at the height of the dotcom boom.
