SUMMARY:The Scent of Nostalgia: A Living Green Wall Within Reach
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ovata  \n  \nWhat if a wall could carry memory\, scent\, and greenery—all at once? \n  \nInspired by the traditional Korean  병풍 Byung-poong (folding screen) \, Ovata presents a site-flexible installation: a  portable living wall  composed of hinged\, frame-based panels filled with  California native plants. Spread throughout the event venue\, these sculptural pieces are more than dividers—they are  multi-sensory green moments  that offer a breath of nature\, evoke regional nostalgia\, and serve as quiet visual anchors within the event energy. \n  \nEach panel transforms the space with  natural scents\, living textures \, and a subtle reference to the cultural practice of honoring people and place. Think of it as a  living scroll of memory and nature —brought into the present. \n  \nRather than serving as a static backdrop\, this installation  gently guides the flow of people \, encouraging organic circulation while shaping cozy niches for gathering\, pausing\, and connecting. Like a breeze through a forest\, its layout invites movement and mingling while offering soft\, intimate pockets of calm \n  \n Schedule:    \nNo fixed schedule. The green wall installation is designed to be  explored freely throughout the venue  during the event. \nThis is a  self-guided\, standalone installation —no formal presentation. \n  \n Bonus Features:    \n– Portable green wall panels placed throughout the venue \n–  Designed with California native species    \n–  QR codes on each panel  to explore featured plants and their ecological stories \n– Subtle  natural fragrance  in the air \n– Visual and spatial  flexibility  to frame or divide areas \n– Inspired by  병풍(Byung-poong) \, traditional Korean folding screens

SUMMARY:Surveying the History of Arts Education in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:*** EVENT SOLD OUT***\nJoin Daniel Lucas (Education Director at Problem Library) and Nicole Meldahl (San Francisco historian and Executive Director of Western Neighborhoods Project) for a presentation and open conversation. Together\, they’ll trace the origins\, ethos\, and contemporary resonance of San Francisco’s homegrown art schools. \nSan Francisco has a storied history of community-led arts education\, from long-standing juggernauts like the California College of the Arts and the now-defunct San Francisco Art Institute\, to influential experiments like the Alvarado School Art Workshop and The Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design. These schools and their associated scenes nurtured generations of artists\, thinkers\, and builders who shaped the global image of San Francisco as a cultural haven. \nBy revisiting these examples\, we can draw lessons and inspiration about how to build similar spaces today. These histories sharpen our thinking as we consider: What are we offering young creatives today? What conditions are we creating for discovery\, risk\, and deep engagement? How do we build on the legacies of foundational institutions?  \nAt its best\, arts education is not just about individual development—it is a force that radiates out into the community\, creating shared language\, visions for the future\, and a sense of continuity and heritage. More than schools\, these spaces functioned as cultural incubators\, sites of experimentation\, and community anchors.  \nWe’ll reflect on the people\, places\, and ideas that have shaped San Francisco’s creative foundation—and consider how that legacy might spark new possibilities in the present.  \nAnd we hope you’ll be part of this reminisce. If you’ve passed through any of these spaces—or helped shape them—your memories and reflections are part of the living history we’re gathering. After all\, arts education in San Francisco has always grown through the spaces we’ve built together\, the conversations we’ve kept alive\, and the futures we’ve dared to imagine.

SUMMARY:Reshaping Climate Through Design
DESCRIPTION:*** EVENT SOLD OUT***\nThe climate problem must be addressed on all fronts.

SUMMARY:Closer Than They Appear
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Opening Night of “Closer Than They Appear” a group exhibition co-presented by re.riddle and Anand Sheth. \nReflections\, both literal and metaphorical\, have long served as sites of inquiry within the history of representation. In Closer Than They Appear\, Bay Area artists and designers work with mirrored and reflective materials not only as optical devices but also philosophical provocations — tools for examining how we come to recognize ourselves in images\, or fail to. \nThe exhibition’s title\, Closer Than They Appear\, underscores both the laws of physics and metaphorically how reflections might inform us about proximity — of intimacy made strange\, enacting a kind of call-and-response with the viewer’s self-imaging. This exhibition draws upon the spatial and psychological dimensions of the mirror\, what Lacan famously termed the méconnaissance of the mirror stage\, to explore how reflection can mislead\, multiply\, or undo perception altogether. In this context\, reflection becomes sculptural\, spatial\, and social — shaped by the histories embedded in our physicality and the politics of perception. \nThrough multimedia works\, sculpture\, paintings and installations\, the artists engage with the reflective surface as an active site\, where the gaze can loop\, inform\, reframe and deflect. The mirror becomes less a surface and more a contingent space where vision and narratives merge\, reflecting and rebounding at times in curious rhythms. From polished geometries to fragmented surfaces\, the works on view refract\, redirect\, and propose alternate ways of seeing. They recalibrate light and space as material entities\, engineering a circuit that can only be completed by the viewer’s gaze. The mirrored encounters suggest that perception is never stable\, that recognition is often partial\, and that the self is assembled through acts of misalignment as much as coherence. Is this not\, after all\, the condition of modern subjectivity — fractured\, recursive\, and mediated through experiences that both produce and obscure recognition?
