Join us as we explore the Summer Highlights exhibit and reminisce about your favorite summer memories. The exhibit is a group of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by prominent historical and contemporary artists.
About this outing: Summer Highlights features a curated selection of historical and contemporary works engaged with the conceptual and physical representations of summer. Ghostly coastal scenes, saturated interiors laden with symbolism, and mercurial landscapes play off each other to produce an exhibition that explores the multidimensional layers of a moment in time. The works in Summer Highlights probe the tension between the immediate and fleeting. Rooted in a celebration of the season, this exhibition explores the symbolic and metaphorical associations of summer. Participating artists include Diana Al-Hadid, John Alexander, Richard Avedon, Val Britton, Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen, Dean Byington, Bruce Cohen, Heather Day, Liam Everett, Isca Greenfield-Sanders, Michael Gregory, Jane Hammond, Jacob Hashimoto, Matt Kleberg, Paul Kremer, Anna Kunz, Rachel Simon Marino, Barry McGee, Tom McKinley, Pedro S. de Movellán, Ed Ruscha, Joel Shapiro, Stephanie H. Shih, Darren Waterston, Lucy Williams and Donald Roller Wilson.
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.
San Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver.
