SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in Marin -- 11/13/2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us to view ArtWorks Downtown’s current exhibitions: Joy\, REPAIR: An Exploration of Trauma & Healing and Finding Beauty by David McElwee. \nCaring 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. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nAbout this outing:  Joy celebrates visual-art’s ability to uplift our spirits by showcasing six Bay Area artists embracing positivity in diverse and thoughtful ways. Each connects with joy through their own path. REPAIR: An Exploration of Trauma & Healing challenges our relationship with objects in a consumerist society. Featuring works by Bay Area artists\, the exhibition explores repair’s literal application\, its symbolic connection to healing and trauma\, and the blurred lines between utilitarian objects and artistic expression. Finding Beauty by David McElwee: statement from the artist: “In my photography\, I’m especially drawn to the unusual or peculiar. Sometimes that means experimenting with long exposures\, double exposures\, infrared light\, or unexpected perspectives. Other times\, it’s simply about honoring a moment of beauty just as it is.” \nMemory Cafe meets on many Thursdays in Marin at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nPlease RSVP in advance by emailing Amy Takemoto at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org.

SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in San Francisco -- 10/21/2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore the exhibition Mike Henderson: Truth\, Love and Curiosity\, the Haines Gallery’s 16th solo exhibition with the pioneering San Francisco Bay Area painter\, musician\, and filmmaker. \nCaring 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. \nAbout this outing: Mike Henderson is a San Francisco Bay Area visual artist\, musician\, and filmmaker. Born in Marshall\, MO in 1943\, Henderson has been an important figure in the Northern California art scene since the 1960s. Now in his 80s\, the artist continues to create works that surprise and challenge expectations. Named after the impulses that fuel Henderson’s fearlessly inventive practice\, Truth\, Love\, and Curiosity features his gestural\, highly tactile oil paintings alongside a selection of his early experimental films. Henderson’s new paintings are exhibited in dialogue with a selection of small works from the 1990s and 2000s\, all on view for the first time. The exhibition also includes a selection of Henderson’s 16mm films from the 1970s and 1980s\, many of which have been acquired and restored by the Academy Film Archive. Politically charged and often wickedly funny\, these productions range from powerful “talking blues films” about Black experience to improvisational compositions and absurd musings. Shown together\, the varied works in Truth\, Love\, and Curiosity reveal the artist’s penchant for play and experimentation\, and a lifelong commitment to creative freedom. \nSan Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nPlease RSVP in advance to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org.

SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in San Francisco -- 10/14/2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Ruth’s Table Curious Minds program as we journey into the powerful role of music-making among LGBTQ communities during the height of the AIDS crisis\, when song became both a source of solace and a call to action.

We will explore how music held memories\, told stories of loss and resilience\, and brought people together when connection was urgently needed. Thomas will also share live saxophone performances of pieces from this time\, creating space for reflection\, memory-sharing\, and the joy of collective remembrance. Together\, we will honor how music carries both grief and hope\, weaving personal experiences into a larger tapestry of history and belonging. Dr. Thomas Kurtz is an educator\, researcher\, arts administrator\, and performing artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an Assistant Professor of Music at University of San Francisco and a professor at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. \nSan Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations.

SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in San Francisco -- 9/16/2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Catharine Clark Gallery to view three dynamic solo exhibitions: Joel Daniel Phillips’s A Compelling Narrative\, Gil Batle’s Almost Sanctuary\, and Nanci Amaka’s Cleanse|Windows. These exhibitions reflect on artmaking as a form of record-keeping and a means of revealing unseen histories. \nCaring 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. \nSan Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nPlease RSVP in advance to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org. \nAbout this outing: \nJoel Daniel Phillips’ exhibition A Compelling Narrative continues his research into the Library of Congress’s photographic archives from the 1930s\, created during the New Deal by the Farm Security Administration (FSA). His acclaimed series\, “Killing the Negative\,” responds to the lesser-known process by which FSA photographs were selected for publication. Through a deep dive into the archive\, Phillips discovered who made these choices and what happened to the negatives of photographs deemed unworthy of publication. The head of the FSA during this era was Roy Emerson Stryker. Stryker would “kill” images he felt were unsuitable for publication by punching a hole in the original negative. The current political debates about race\, class\, labor\, compensation\, land ownership\, socioeconomic stratification\, and ecological protection deeply resonate with issues of that era\, many of which are embedded in the original censored FSA photographs. \nGil Batle’s Almost Sanctuary is the artist’s debut exhibition. Born in 1962 in San Francisco to Filipino parents\, Batle spent 20 years in and out of five different California prisons for fraud and forgery. He now lives on a small island in the Philippines. Batle’s self-taught drawing ability evolved behind bars into sophisticated and clandestine tattooing skills that protected him from murderous gang violence in prisons such as San Quentin\, Chuckawalla\, and Jamestown—the “Gladiator School” as it’s known to the unfortunate cognoscenti. In racially segregated cell blocks\, where Bloods\, Crips\, and Aryan Brotherhood gang members rule with intimidation and threat\, Batle’s facility for drawing was considered magic by the murderers\, drug dealers\, and armed robbers whose stories he now recounts in minutely carved detail on fragile ostrich eggshells\, clay\, and paper. \nNanci Amaka’s video work exists in the space between looking\, seeing\, and knowing. Her performances explore the concept of being a spiritual being living in the present moment while laden with memories and future imaginaries. She is interested in the limitations around awareness; in the psychological and philosophical nuances of visual language; in oral indigenous histories; and in ancestral knowledge inherited into our corporeal physiques.

SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in San Francisco -- 9/10/2025
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCaring 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. \nSan Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nPlease RSVP in advance to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org. \nAbout this outing: \nKathryn 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. \nSummerscape 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.
