When Vernon Davis does finally get to the Sistine Chapel, he’ll be a little closer to the “Creation of Adam” than most visitors. At 6 feet 3 and 250 pounds, the pass-catching tight end definitely stands out in a crowd.
Tonight the San Francisco 49er with the heart of an artist hopes to pass on his message to kids, headlining the first Art Impact speaker series at the Koret Auditorium in the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, followed by a fundraiser for the Vernon Davis Visual Arts Scholarship Fund at Morton’s Steakhouse.
The Art Impact series is a joint effort from the San Francisco Arts Commission and the San Francisco Unified School District. Davis spoke with us last week from Washington, D.C., where he lives in the offseason.
