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 Schedule | August 9, 2013
6-8 pm: August Artist-in-Residence: Peggy Gyulai (Kimball Education Gallery)
The Art of Painting Music: Allegro (ma non troppo)
Peggy Gyulai’s work explores the connections between music and the expressive possibilities of paint on canvas. She approaches music as a subject, object, and inspiration, and, like Richard Diebenkorn, invokes the dynamic tension between abstraction and representation in order to create substance from the most ephemeral phenomena.6-8:30 pm: The Modernist Painter’s Studio (Piazzoni Murals Room)
Rick Rodrigues and the Modernist Painter’s Studio: Horizon with Figure
Bay Area painter Rick Rodrigues will once again delight visitors as he sets up an artist studio inspired by Richard Diebenkorn: The Berkeley Years, 1953–1966 in the Piazzoni Murals Room. Using his models, Rodrigues will create a stunning figurative painting while visitors are invited to sketch alongside him.6:30-8:30 pm: Adam Theis and the Western Territory Project (Wilsey Court)
The ensemble will be led by award-winning composer Adam Theis, whose work is rooted in the jazz, hip-hop, gospel, and classical genres. Adam Theis on trombone, sousaphone, electric bass, and electronics; Alisa Rose on violin; Matthew Szemela on violin; Lewis Patzner on cello and trombone; Aaron Kierbel on drums and percussion; and special guests.
