Free Museum & Gallery Crawl: Yerba Buena Third Thursdays | SoMa
Yerba Buena Third Thursdays is a monthly outing of art, performance, music, and drinks in the Yerba Buena neighborhood in the heart of downtown San Francisco, between 2nd and 5th Street, and Market and Harrison Street.
Free, but an RSVP is recommended to save time at check-in. Pre-register, and use your smart phone or printed ticket to get wristbands at participating art venues.
Yerba Buena neighborhood galleries, museums, restaurants, and bars will host an event every third Thursday of the month which will be an exciting chance to explore the Yerba Buena district.
Look for the yellow balloons for Third Thursday events, and be sure to pick up your wrist band at YBCA for special rates at participating bars and restaurants. All gallery and museum admissions will be free, except for the Contemporary Jewish Museum which will offer a special entry price of $5.
Enjoy the new exhibition Crosscurrents: Africa and Black Diasporas in Dialogue, 1960-1980, as MoAD joins the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the California Historical Society and UC Berkeley Extension Art & Design Gallery for Third Thursdays in Yerba Buena.
The MoAD Salon will be the scene for a film screening and discussion as part of the film series Cross-Cutting: Black Insurgency on Film. At 6:30 pm we will screen Pressure (Horace Ové, 120 minutes, 1975) – The first feature film written and directed by a person of African descent released in Britain, PRESSURE focuses on members of a Trinidadian family who had migrated to Britain in search of a better life. Tony, who was born in the UK, faces discrimination when he tries to find a proper job. His older brother Colin, an activist in the growing Black Power movement, faces repression by the police and challenges the aspirations of Tony and his elders.
Be sure to pick up a wristband at MoAD for special Third Thursday all-night happy hours at participating bars and restaurants.
