The Lab, the experimental art space on 16th and Capp streets, will be having new leadership on August 1. Dena Beard will become the executive director of the art space located also in the Redstone Building, also known as the labor temple.

Alan Millar, one of the LAB’s founding artists, is returning as board president this year. Read more via KQED.
