Darryl Ratcliff 04

Cistercian alumnus Darryl Ratcliff ’04 has been awarded a spot on the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts 100, an annual list that celebrates the everyday heroes—artists, activists, and community leaders—for their extraordinary commitment to building sustainable, equitable, and regenerative communities! These recipients are the provocateurs and innovators who are boldly making a difference in the health and well-being of their communities, working tirelessly in pursuit of racial equity, and using art and activism to heal and bring us together in spirit when we need it most.

The YBCA100 honorees will be celebrated on Saturday, April 3, 2021, in San Francisco.

Thank you, Darryl, for your strong and hopeful vision.
