Deadline: March 18, 2019. DESCRIPTION: The word “Sanctuary” has recently been associated with individual and municipality resistance to the Federal enforcement of immigration laws. “Sanctuary” itself has a wide range of definitions: a place offering shelter, a sacred or consecrated place, a container of holy things, a refuge for humans or wildlife, and a place offering immunity from law.

VENUE: Arc Gallery, 1246 Folsom St, San Francisco 94103.
