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.

Bulgari Jewelry Talk & Live Orchestra | Friday Nights at the de Young | Fall 2018

Schedule of Events | September 20, 2013

6-8:45 pm: “Patterns,” by Artist-in-Residence Jenny E. Balisle (Kimball Education Gallery)

Artist Jenny E. Balisle invites visitors to engage in an exploration of pattern through the de Young’s artwork, architecture, and park setting. Balisle’s practice incorporates work in three separate media: abstract paintings, pen and ink drawings, and sculptural installations made from heated acrylic sheets. These pieces are conceptually linked by an interest in dichotomous relationships—the simple and the complex, the beautiful and the grotesque, micro and macro perspectives, and natural and man-made environments. As Artist-in-Residence she will investigate the museum’s incredible diversity of collections inside and out during the month of September.

6:30-8:30 pm: Club Foot Orchestra (Wilsey Court)
Live music by Richard Marriott with the Club Foot Orchestra, featuring Pamela Z and film projections celebrating Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor, and themes of La Dolce Vita

7:15-8:15 pm: “Tubogas” choker, 1974 (Koret Auditorium)
Guest Lecture: “The Art of Bulgari: La Dolce Vita & Beyond, 1950–1990,” by Amanda Triossi, Jewelry Historian and Author. Triossi is a jewelry historian, author, consultant to luxury goods companies, and curator of the Bulgari Heritage Collection.
