Event Details

Cancelled – YBCA:ConVerge Monthly Art Gathering | SoMa

Please Note: The specific ConVerge series is no longer taking place at the YBCA, but we encourage you to still come out to the Yerba Buena district every 3rd Thursday for special events at YBCA and neighboring museums.

The YBCA:ConVerge series is a free monthly public gathering featuring creative and generative social art practices.

Community and innovative multi- and inter-disciplinary arts practices come together in the YBCA’s Grand Lobby and Room for Big Ideas with art, live music and curated performances in an interactive, experimental format. Cocktails are available for purchase.

The August 2014 ConVerge presents a variety of workshops and interactive installations that guide you through a range of hands-on experiences with artists and arts organizations featured in the Bay Area Now 7 exhibition.

In the Grand Lobby: Bay Area Area Art Workers Alliance will present a performance followed by a discussion of artists’ labor. Binta Ayofemi’s Untitled (Primary Structures) work will be performed as a field of actions, ending with an artist talk and discussion. Jesus Landin-Torrez III will stage The Great Reveal in the galleries dealing with the ideas of “magic” within the preparator labor force, exposing the process and people that are hidden behind the velvet rope of the institution before the opening exhibition.

Youth Arts Lounge: The Estria Foundation will host a graffiti typography workshop where participants can learn to create their own words, names or characters with a Street Art style. Each participant will have a work of art they can take home.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
