Behind the scenes with Foucault and Sicat

Gallery artists Peter Foucault and Chris Sicat are two talented artists that are obsessive in the application of their mediums. Not only does Peter Foucalt create stunning works on paper, but he is also one of the co-founders of The Mobile Arts Platform (Map). Founded with Chris Treggiari their goal of MAP is to engage the public through interaction with advanced technology, creating a positive environment for the arts.  Recently the team hiked 49 miles with a backpack that doubled as a printmaking station.   Stopping at specific points in San Francisco they engaged with the public and assisted them in creating beautiful works of art!
