Event Details

Free Admission Day at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA)

Opened to the public in 1993, YBCA was founded as the cultural anchor of San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Gardens neighborhood. Our work spans the realms of contemporary art, performance, film, civic engagement, and public life. Centering artists as essential to social and cultural movement, YBCA is reimagining the role an arts institution can play in the community it serves.

YBCA is located in the heart of San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood, across the street from SFMOMA and the Moscone Convention Center. The main entrance to our galleries and forum event space is at 701 Mission Street. The main entrance to our theater is 700 Howard Street.

YBCA is open Wednesday–Sunday, 11–5pm.
Entry to YBCA Galleries is free on Wednesdays and second Sundays
