Memory Cafe in San Francisco — 9/10/2025
Wednesday, September 10 @ 1:00pm – 3:00pm
Free
Join us at the Minnesota Street Project which has a variety of art galleries and pop up exhibitions. We’ll view an exhibition by artist Kathryn Kert Green, plus see Summerscape 2025 from SFArtsED showcasing work by middle school-aged young people of San Francisco.
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.
Please RSVP in advance to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org.
About this outing:
Kathryn Kert Green’s drawings begin with a mark, then a pen line, and from there, a flurry of edges that treat line as object: material and dimensional. Her lines do not describe so much as accumulate. They hover between material and idea, mark and meaning, tracing the moment where shape begins to appear, then dissipates. What results is a kind of vibration and tension held between media. The line, as it moves, does not define shape so much as explore the sensation of presence. One enters these drawings not by deciphering them, but by attuning with their shifts in density, rhythm, and weight. In Line-Storm, Green asks us to consider the line as the edge of comprehension itself: felt before it is understood, seen before it is named. Each mark holds the force of thought taking shape: tentative, searching, and alive.
Summerscape 2025 marks the 30th year that SFArtsED has offered summer visual art and design camps to the middle school-aged young people of San Francisco. This annual exhibition showcases a selection of artworks created in camp sessions taught by Artist Mentors Ramon Abad, Jeanette Au, C.K. Itamura, Rachel Major, Tiersa Nureyev, and Erik Parra.
