Friday Nights at the de Young | Fall 2018
One of San Francisco’s most celebrated after-hours museum events returns for a fall season of 2018.
These nine Friday Nights feature free admission to the main-level galleries highlighted by a reinterpretation of contemporary art in their permanent collection and new acquisitions called Specters of Disruption. In addition, Friday Nights will offer reduced-price tickets of $14 to the exhibition Contemporary Muslim Fashions from 6–8:30 pm.
Through social-media moments and in-person dialogue, visitors can engage and commune with the art and with one another in a warm and welcoming setting. Enjoy specialty drinks and mocktails, coffees, teas, and snacks. Bring your friends. Strike a pose at the selfie wall. Listen to music. Make art. Activities take place from 6–8:30 pm.
Come and listen to live music from Rob Reich Sextet Swings Left – Stuart Davis’ life and work were greatly influenced by jazz music. His bold colors and style reflected this new American art. Get swinging as the Rob Reich Sextet Swings Left takes you back to the 1930s and 40s.

“The Maze” Film Screening and Poetry Reading with Michael McClure
At the age of 22 Michael McClure gave his first poetry reading at the legendary Six Gallery event in San Francisco, where Allen Ginsberg first read Howl. Today, the award-winning author is more active than ever, writing and performing at festivals, colleges, and clubs across the country, often alongside musical collaborators such as composer Terry Riley and keyboardist Ray Manzarek (The Doors).
