About the Independent School of Art:
The Independent School of Art is a viable and experimental =

alternative to the institutional model of college-level art =

education. The ISA is run through a barter-based, nomadic system, =

where both students and teachers are collectively responsible for =

negotiating the school's existence in the world. The school's barter- =

based tuition system makes explicit and direct the social contract =

between students and teachers and honors their collective labor as a =

vital form of cultural production. By existing without a primary site =

and locating nomadically throughout the Bay Area, the school =

challenges students and teachers alike to imagine how their practice =

might intersect and respond to a lager set of physical situations and =

cultural possibilities. Without institutional affiliations, degrees, =

or public funding, the school exists solely through the labor and =

efforts of it's participants, and thus fosters a proactive approach =

to art education, a real world model where students are challenged to =

determine and create their own artistic realities. The ISA shall =

change year by year, reflecting the ideals, the ambitions, the =

personalities, and the abilities of those in its community. The ISA =

was founded by Jon Rubin, and currently run in collaboration with Bob =

Linder.

In an effort to create a one-room schoolhouse environment of shared =

learning and mentorship, seminars presented through The Independent =

School of Art include students of all ages, levels of experience, and =

disciplines. The ISA prioritizes an action-based approach to arts =

education and cultural discourse and complements it's curricular =

offerings with student and faculty designed exhibitions, lectures, =

and publications. These multi-disciplinary public interfaces are a =

central part of the school's pedagogy, and serve a vital function by =

engaging the students in the direct creation of public culture. For =

About The Hayes Valley Market:
Located on the northeast corner of Hayes and Laguna, in downtown San =

Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood, the Hayes Valley Market is a =

brand new, transitory and experimental art space/gallery that will be =

operating for about one year before the building it resides in gets =

demolished to make way for senior housing. The building is rumored =

to have originally been one of California's oldest Safeways, and has =

continued to serve as a food and beverage market until its recent =

change of ownership.

The building was recently bought by the owners of a local old-age =

community, and has been temporarily leant to Albert Herter and Lisa =

Rybovich Crall=E9, the gallery's managers, to serve as an art gallery =

for the year or so that it will take to get the necessary permits =

squared away. Because of the unconventional and transitory nature of =

the Hayes Valley Market, many of the restrictions that most art =

galleries face do not apply. If you are an artist, or have ideas for =

the gallery, or would simply like to get involved, please email =
