Dear Friends and Supporters, At the start of January, we received more than 35 artist proposals. With the support of our Auxiliary Committee, made up of former Artists in Residence, we thoughtfully narrowed this highly competitive selection to six artists, each invited to transform the Jettison space and bring their exhibition to life. Together, we pushed ourselves to imagine what was possible within our walls and how the space could evolve to meet each artist’s unique vision. Looking back on 2025, we are reminded of the importance of holding space for one another and the power of a true artistic community. Many of the works presented this year had never been seen before, offered free to the public, and were accompanied by workshops that deepened engagement and encouraged learning. The diversity of the artistic voices we welcomed was extraordinary: dance, fashion, oil painting, multidimensional textiles, film photography, animation, sculpture, and digital art. Standing alongside these creatives and our community, and witnessing their stories unfold, is what makes Jettison so special. As an artist-led, artist-run organization, we understand the time, emotional commitment, and financial insecurity that can accompany each creative process. Because of this, we do not take a percentage of any work sold and remain committed to supporting each artist as authentically as possible. With your donations and the support of our community, we can continue holding space for artists’ stories, bringing people together, and shaping the future of accessible, quality art programming. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing what’s in store for 2026. Happy Holidays! With gratitude, Terez, John, Elliott 📸 @maxtphoto

Dr. Capsoul X Jettison Creative // “Nostalgia” Group Show. Opening this Saturday, November 8th, 5-8 PM Last year, we had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Capsoul through former AiR artists Ted Chinn and Kyle Miller. Since then, his work and that of his incredible “Nostalgia” collaborators have continued to wow us. We’re honored to be part of this project, sharing both the work and the space with our SF community. See you Saturday! @mechibaz @nogi.san @ore_ore_ore_ @rud_cef @jisuartist

Claire Maen & Alexandre Martin X Jettison Creative// “See Vegas and Die” Opening this Saturday, October 4th, 5-8 PM Open Studio, October 5th, 1-4 PM When we first met October Artist-in-Residence Claire Maen, her passion for photography was electric and contagious. In collaboration with French photographer Alexandre Martin, this expansive collection captures the raw beauty and quiet tension that often go unnoticed beneath the neon lights. Together, their process is poetic and shares an intimacy within the spectacle. We look forward to sharing this epic body of work with you all!

Sanaz Safanasab x Jettison Creative// Unidentified Bodies in Light & Shadow September 27th, 5-8 PM Sanaz is a powerful, hidden force. Her work compels us to pay attention, pulling us in to confront something deeper and more layered. She’s a gem and we feel so lucky to have gotten to know her. We hope you’ll join us this weekend.

On August 23rd, we welcomed Nic Dalager into Jettison Creative for her first solo exhibition, Joy! (Softcore Healing). We danced, we sipped, and we were swept up in a kaleidoscope of color, emotion, and play through her imaginative works. A special shoutout to DJs TMAC & Lorne for bringing the sweet tunes, Casa San Matias for the delicious tequila, and to everyone who contributed so generously at the bar. YOU are the reason these shows continue to thrive. 📸 : @maxtphoto Revisit some highlights of this epic evening. Thank you for trusting us, Nic. We cannot wait to follow your continued journey. Presented by: Jettison Creative Featured Artist: Nic Dalager Collaborators: DJs, @tyleraustrie @lornesounds Exhibition: Joy! (Softcore Healing) Date: August 23, 2025 Series: Artist-in-Residence

Nic Dalager X Jettison Creative// Joy! (softcore healing) August 23, 5-8 PM With DJ sets from TMAC & Lorne! @tyleraustrie @lornesounds Getting to know Nic and her work has been really cathartic. Her paintings and digital designs are colorful, fun, and allow us to enter into a child’s imagination. We cannot wait to be a part of her first solo show and see all that comes her in way in the future.

Congratulations to our July AiRs @shisha3 @kelseymcfalls ! On July 26th, we welcomed the community for the opening of “Consume” — an immersive, multidisciplinary exhibition created by Alysia Chang and Kelsey McFalls. The evening blended workshops, dance, science, and interactive installations to spark conversations around waste and our environmental impact. We were so moved by this show, reminding us that dance and science can intertwine to leave a visceral, lasting impression — one that inspires us to move forward with greater intention and care. Thank you to all of the attendees, participants, and collaborators. Enjoy this recap, and we hope to see you at the next opening on August 23rd! Presented by: Jettison Creative Featured Artists: Alysia Chang & Kelsey McFalls Collaborators: Alina Bekkerman, Dr. Tracey Woodruf, Nick Brentley, Philippa Renshaw, Marie Casabonne, Roseann Baker, Joseph Hernandez, Nick Korkos, Shania Rasmussen Exhibition: Consume Date: July 26, 2025 Series: Artist in Residence
