Event Details

Join seven “makers” exhibiting in The San Francisco Foundation & SOMArts’ Annual Murphy & Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards Exhibition for a free afternoon of artist-led creative workshops and live music.

Free, but an RSVP is required.

Regardless of your skill level, you must bring to the worktable a sense of adventure– you’ll find out your two workshop assignments (possibilities detailed below) when you arrive. 

Order of operations:

Step 1 (right now): Register on EventBrite. Make yourself a note to arrive by noon on the day of the event to be guaranteed a schedule.
Step 2 (Noon): Check-in to the SOMArts lobby to receive your two workshop assignments, chosen at random.
Step 3 (12:30 pm): The bell rings for the first of two workshops. Each workshop lasts around 30 minutes.
Step 4 (2 pm): Following a short break for socializing and refreshments, enjoy live music in the gallery, and check out the art exhibition.

Workshop offerings include:

  • How to Make your own Flower Press with Megan Atherton
  • Graffiti Moss with Lila Maes
  • Flash Mob Dance Workshop with Li Ma
  • Gak and The Many Uses of Fake Hair with Susannah Dotson
  • Drawing for Dummies (and Other Intellectual Types Too) with Sarah Ammons

If your workshops don’t appeal to you, do what you were never allowed to do in school: grab a drink and swap schedules socially with other students before the bell rings. They say orange is the color of creativity, so mimosas will be served by a cash bar.

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.
