Root and Offshoots: Silicon Valley’s Arts Community, Rindfleisch, Jan; Maribel Alvarez; Raj Jayadev, edited by Nancy Hom and Ann Sherman
Silicon Valley’s innovative arts collaborations and organizational structures—offshoots, spin-offs, and startups—were founded by unsung heroes who resisted the establishment. Roots and Offshoots: Silicon Valley’s Arts Community explores that ignored history, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the development of arts and culture in the South Bay Area.
