The Event
Illusion is a one-night event that develops over the course of 4 hours. 77 artists engage in creating, with other artists, and the public sharing the space of the Mission Cultural Center's two galleries. All surfaces are wrapped in white paper: walls, floors & columns. Artists are dressed in white while the public comes dressed in black producing the optical illusion of vibration.

Illusion is a moment of energetic, public happening.

After seven consecutive years, this will be the last Illusion show. If you have not experienced the Illusion, this is your last chance.

The Theme
This year's theme of "DREAMS" is open to interpretation and is offered as a design parameter to those artists interested in commenting upon and creating around this theme. The idea can be simple and transformed into its own making, with the DREAM color, words, sound, movement etc

About the Curator
Adrián Arias is a visual artist and poet that created Illusion show in 2003 to congregate the artists from the community of San Francisco in a collective party of live art to show the public the secret and special moment of creation. He believes that the creative process is the greatest strength of the human spirit, where we get the essence of daily existence. Adrián has participated in shows around the world and has organized events of similar scale in Canada and Peru. He has received important prizes in poetry and visual arts in France, Japan, Peru and Spain.
