Proximity in Practice

Design, Experiences

Imprint Projects created “Proximity in Practice” a series of site specific art commissions within the company headquarters that showcase CZI’s philanthropic arms: social justice, housing, education, and science.

The project inspires CZI employees to feel more invested in their daily work and more connected the key initiatives. The installations included lenticular models informed by housing affordability, a hand painted mural about CZI’s grantmaking program within their Education initiative, pegboard installations highlighting female scientists and grant recipients, and illustrated portraits of formerly incarcerated leaders.

Local Bay Area artist collaborators include: Heather Hardison and Ashley Fundora, Carissa Potter, Aaron De La Cruz, CYRCLE, Jerome Reyes, Jocelyn Tsaih, Katie Benn, Masako Miki and Miguel Arzabe.
