Our Mission:
The mission of this project is to support the community of San Francisco through one of The City’s signature foundations, one both geographically and morally at its heart. Through the combined, collaborative talents of visiting and local artists, using their success in visual and performing arts, we will give back to those who need it most by supporting an organization known for its ever-presence in The Tenderloin, continually offering hope and inspiration.

About:
The Behavior of Light benefit staged reading and art auction is a charity event to support the GLIDE foundation. The event will feature a staged reading of a new play written and directed by 5-time tony nominated playwright Douglas Carter Beane entitled "The Behavior of Light". In tandem with this reading, we will also be holding a silent art auction online and on-site at the theater, featuring local San Franciscan artists. It will be a night celebrating the arts for a city that has given us the opportunity to do what we love.

The Play:
The third in his series of plays about art, truth and fame (along side “As Bees in Honey Drown” and “The Little Dog Laughed”) Beane explores the world of outsider art. This story of an amateur artist who expresses his devotion to an unrequited love and whose work is commandeered by what appears to be a more suitable artist. The play manages to show the inspiration, the creation the reception and even the art itself in this loving tribute to outsider artists Henry Darger, Achilles Rizzoli. Margaret Kean and countless others. A funny, adventurous and touching portrait of American in the early seventies and the world of art.
