Over a dozen Yerba Buena-adjacent arts and cultural institutions have joined forces for the second time this year to offer free admission and special programming as part of Culture for Community, an event timed to the neighborhood’s regular third Thursday programming.
The collaboration opens doors at SFMOMA, the Museum of the African Diaspora, the California Historical Society, the Contemporary Jewish Museum and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, with most institutions hosting events and tours tied to the theme of intergenerational storytelling.
Highlights include new etchings by Gay Outlaw at Crown Point Press, YBCAâs technology-centric group show The Body Electric, 11am and 1pm screenings of Nicole Millerâs To The Stars at SFMOMA, and Annabeth Rosenâs magnificent survey of ceramic work at the CJM.
Skip out of work early, take a long lunch break, do what you have to do to soak up as much art and culture as you can this Thursday. Hereâs the list of major institutions and their (often extended) hours:
American Bookbinders Museum: Free 10amâ8pm California Historical Society: Free 11amâ5pm with a talk at 6:30pm Childrenâs Creativity Museum: Free 10amâ7pm Contemporary Jewish Museum: Open 11amâ9pm, free 5pmâ9pm Crown Point Press: Open 10amâ8pm (always free) Mirus Gallery: Open 12â9pm (always free) MoAD: Free 11amâ8pm SFMOMA: Free 10amâ9pm (reserve your tickets) SPUR: Open 9amâ5pm with a ticketed talk at 6pm YBCA: Free 11amâ8pm Yerba Buena Gardens Festival: Performance by Ricardo Lemvo, 6â7:30pmk 111 Minna: Open 7amâ9pm (always free)
