Stairwell’s is a series of temporary exhibitions accompanied by short publications and off-site group excursions (Field Trips) in the San Francisco Bay Area. The curatorial project, created by Sarah Hotchkiss & Carey Lin, aims to create a new model for local audiences to engage with art by shifting exhibitions out of traditional gallery settings and into transitional spaces like stairwells.

For her part as a From the Ground Up Field Trip Leader, artist and writer Kari Marboe delved into the history of two Oakland quarries and the lives of their namesakes: Frank W. Bilger and Anson S. Blake.
