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.
Friday Nights at the de Young Activities | July 12, 2013
6-8:45 pm: July Artist-in-Residence: Jewel Castro (Kimball Education Gallery)
De Young Artist-in-Residence Jewel Castro is a multimedia artist whose work engages Samoan history, transnational movement as it relates to cultural identification, Samoan art forms and production, and Castro’s relationships with her ancestors. Her art expresses an Oceanic way of being, the collective experience both visible and invisible—in skin, air, blood, the harmony of voices, the quality of light, the color of weather and water, movement, wildlife, architecture, the landscape, textiles, and the organic process of engaging history in the present.6:30-8:30 pm: The Marcus Shelby Quintet (Wilsey Court)
Drawing inspiration from Richard Diebenkorn’s paintings, the Marcus Shelby Quintet transports you across decades of sound with swing, ballads, and blues.6:30-8 pm: Special Lecture | Arts for the City: Civic Arts for Urban Change (Koret Auditorium)
Susan Wels and Kate Patterson (director of communications, San Francisco Arts Commission), plus special guests.
