Blue Collar Green Water Photography Exhibition Opens

From Pier 39: Blue Collar Green Water artists and The Port of San Francisco invite you to experience the San Francisco Bay through a display of photography taken by Blue & Gold Fleet’s blue collar workers. The Blue Collar Green Water artists are a collaboration of ferry and dockside workers who are inspired every day by the environment in which they work.

Blue Collar Green Water was founded by Blue & Gold Fleet Deckhand Rebecca Johnson. “The compelling factors that brought us together are the appreciation we have for being able to work locally doing what we love,” says Johnson. “We are a diverse group, multi-cultural and multi-national, immigrants and natives, each bringing our own perspective to our photography as members of San Francisco’s working waterfront.”

“The idea of showcasing photographs of San Francisco’s Bay by employees of Blue & Gold Fleet was immediately appealing to the Port,” said Renee Dunn Martin, Communications Director at the Port of San Francisco. “This stunning photo exhibit is a unique way to engage the public through art while highlighting the importance of our working waterfront during National Maritime month.”

The Blue Collar Green Water exhibit will be at the Port of San Francisco offices at Pier 1, from May 5-31, 2017. Public viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.
