Event Details

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.

Taking inspiration and compositional direction from still life paintings in the deYoung’s collection, the choreographers create a series of dances based on the following famous works. The dance Still Life No. 1 is based on Raphaelle Peale’s Blackberries, Still Life No. 2 is based on William Harnett’s After the Hunt, and Still Life No. 3 is based on David Ligare’s Still Life with Grape Juice and Sandwiches.
