Memory Cafe in San Francisco — 1/13/2025

Please join us for a special Monday gathering — a docent-led tour of a special exhibition of work by Tamara de Lempicka at the de Young museum.

Caring for a loved one with memory loss doesn’t have to be a lonely job. Memory Cafe is a gathering for people experiencing mild to moderate memory loss and their caregivers (spouses, family members, or friends). Enjoy time with your loved one and meet others who are dealing with similar issues in a supportive and welcoming environment.

About this outing: Tamara de Lempicka is a Polish painter known for her Art Deco portraits. As the de Young museum describes this exhibition: “With works that exuded cool elegance and transgressive sensuality, Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) helped define Art Deco. Her paintings captured the glamour and vitality of postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity. This exhibition — the first major museum retrospective of Lempicka in the United States — explores the artist’s distinctive style and unconventional life through four major chapters.”

Memory Cafe meets in San Francisco at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver.

RSVP required by January 7 for this special event. RSVP to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org.
