SUMMARY:Marinship Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Discover the creative visions of Sausalito’s Marinship Studios artists at a unique Open Studio event. This is a special opportunity to explore the historic space and experience the talent that defines its vibrant community. Step into the studios\, engage with the artists\, and gain insight into their creative processes and sources of inspiration. See how each artist continues to carry forward the legacy of Marinship through their work. \nMeet the artists at their workshops: \n\nSimon Ungless & Jody Niederkohr – Collaborative textile bandits reimagining worn garments through custom printmaking and felting techniques. Simon was part of the original McQueen team and continues to make his mark on the industry\, saving the world “one garment at a time.”\nJael LaFemina – Stone sculptor and master stonemason\, Jael creates intimate and monumental sculptures for the garden inspired by the hidden stories within stone.\nSusan McKinney – Ceramic and glass artist whose work reimagines the language of weaving through experimental processes. Her wall hangings and 3D sculptures explore the tension between the seen and unseen\, evoking a sense of wonder rooted in the natural world\nJean Bolte – Former ILM effects artist now focused on her own art practice\, consisting of 2D\, 3D\, and electronic work. She blends her cinematic roots with a beginner’s mindset and a limitless curiosity for materials and form.\nTania Houtzager – Sculpture and installation artist whose work investigates the physical and psychological structures of her environment.\n\n\nMichael Lynch- After decades in the FX film industry\, most of which was at the Model/Creature Shop at ILM Michael transitioned to full time Art making. The theme of his work is usually a blend of art\, physics and natural science\, represented in 2D and 3D\n\n\nBarry Svigals –  Visual artist\, sculptor and architect\, Barry’s current work of oil pastels on paper explores a realm between abstract markings and the suggestion of written script. In their communion\, he aims to evoke a timeless longing for expression and bring it to life.\nMaya Kini & Laura Lienhard – Jewelry artists at Varda Landing\, Maya’s sculptural and poetic practice explores material transformation through precision and imperfection\, while Laura draws on old-world techniques to craft elegant expressions of nature’s beauty in precious metals.\nMardi Burnham – Conceptual artist drawn to paper\, porcelain and cloth. Often what one sees as my art is not actually what I am talking about\, but rather a creation that communicates a specific meaning or experience to the viewer.\n\nPieces will be available for purchase\, offering you the chance to bring home a one-of-a-kind creation. Parking is available on Gate 5 Road or in the guest spots at Varda Landing. We look forward to meeting you!

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: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:Multimodal Creativity → Flowing Between Mediums
DESCRIPTION:Designer\, 3D artist\, and music producer Danny Jones invites you into the layered\, unpredictable world of multimodal creativity. \nIn this talk\, he’ll explore how multimodal creatives use AI\, cross-disciplinary thinking\, and taste to move fluidly between mediums\, shaping new ways of working and building worlds that guide how we perceive and feel. \nDanny’s work focuses on the fusion of graphic\, product\, and interactive design with the vast possibilities of 3D\, highlighting the unnoticed beauty surrounding us. His expansive body of work incorporates the spontaneity of generative design\, the vividness of photography\, the depth of 3D\, the expansiveness of spatial design\, and the dynamism of animation. All of it serves to push the boundaries of what’s visually possible\, weaving narratives that captivate and engage\, inviting the viewer to see beyond the surface and into the soul of the unseen. \nThis talk opens a three-session workshop led by Danny\, where participants will explore multimodal creativity and train their own personalized generative AI model. The series will culminate in a showcase of participant work—unexpected\, experimental\, and entirely their own. \nSee you there. \n** \nDoors at 6pm\nTalk at 7pm \nLearn more about the talk\, Danny\, and the workshop on the Problem Library website.

SUMMARY:Social Justice Design Tour: Meet the innovative architects and partners behind the new Restorative Justice Hub in SOMA
DESCRIPTION:How can we use space for healing? We invite mission-driven designers and allies to join us at Designing Justice + Designing Spaces’ recently completed restorative justice space for Community Works in SF’s SOMA district to learn about the community-engaged process and innovative partnerships that made it happen! In this volatile time when justice is under attack\,  it is more important than ever that we shine a light on stories of hope\, creativity\, and collaboration in our industry and beyond.  \nDJDS is an architecture and real estate firm harnessing the power of the built environment to end mass incarceration. After 25 years of transforming lives in the Bay Area through programs rooted in humanity and healing\, Community Works partnered with DJDS to establish its first San Francisco office—a dedicated home for critical services that support people at every stage of involvement in the justice system\, from prevention to reentry. The 6\,000-square-foot sanctuary represents a radical alternative to the criminal legal system; instead\, it provides an empowering space where individuals can thrive and feel safe. \nAt this event\, you’ll have the opportunity to see\, touch\, and experience trauma-informed design in action\, and meet the cross-sector team that made this innovative project possible\, including industry leaders such as Turner Construction. We’ll share more about how we were able to collaborate with values-aligned partners at every stage of the project\, from acoustical engineering to custom furnishings. The event will kick off with tours and a cocktail reception\, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with key partners\, including: \n\nDeanna-Van Buren\, Co-Founder and Executive Director\, Designing Justice + Designing Spaces \nAdrienne Hogg\,  Co-Executive Director\, Community Works\nChelsea Wong\, Project Manager\, Turner Construction\nEmily Pilloton-Lam\, Founder and Executive Director\, Girls Garage\nSasha Plotitsa\, Founder and CEO\, The Formr\nRashanda Udekwu\, Director of Strategic Partnerships\, Waymo (Formerly of CRI) \n\nEvent Surprise! We will unveil a limited-edition furniture piece designed by DJDS and Formr. Proceeds will benefit A New Way of Life\, a nonprofit organization that provides housing and support for formerly incarcerated women. \n  \nPhoto: Jordan Park

SUMMARY:Participatory Experiential Futures: Co-designing technology for human-centered public services
DESCRIPTION:At CivicMakers\, we’ve been using Participatory Experiential Futures (PXF) with government partners across the state. Through a series of workshops\, we’ve explored whether AI can elevate lived experience in program and policy design. These immersive simulations have given us tons of insights for how government decision-makers would use AI to inform design decisions\, and how people accessing public services would want to be represented by these technologies.  \nThis is where YOU come in…help us design how that technology looks\, feels\, and behaves by experiencing our “Ridiculously Hopeful Future” of human-centered government in California! A future where the voices of end users have a seat at the table through speculative technology and deeply collaborative co-design processes.  \nYou will step into a future meeting and test out the new proposals\, desired features and critical nuances we’ve gathered. Bring your conscious design skills to reshape better outcomes for public services. And don’t forget to wear your comfiest time travel uniform!  \nEvent schedule: \n\nIntroductions & Orientation to Time Travel – 15 min\nImmersive Experiential Future (AI for better public services) – 30 min\nStep Back into the Present and Reflect – 15 min\nCo-design Charrette (with insights from civic partners) – 45 min\nDebrief & Next Steps – 15 min\n\nYour participation could improve public service delivery experiences for the people who need them most. We look forward to co-designing with you!

SUMMARY:Designing from the Land: Fire Resilience Through Architecture and Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Designing from the Land: Fire Resilience Through Architecture and Landscape \nPresented by Backen & Backen in partnership with Design Bay Area and 1 Hotel San Francisco for SF Design Week 2025 \nEvent Series Overview: \nThis is the first  in a series of co-branded events with Backen & Backen and Design Bay Area. This series will consist of multiple events throughout the year\, each focusing on a specific aspect of design and its future implications: LAND\, BODY\, BUILDING.  \nEvent Overview: \nAs climate and fire risks intensify\, the practice of how we build must evolve\, and our relationship with where we build must follow. What does it mean to design from the land—not just on it? \nIn a time of increasing climate volatility and wildfire risk\, this conversation explores how fire-adapted design can emerge from a deeper relationship with place. Rather than imposing resilience from the top down\, we’ll ask how the land itself can shape design—through its vegetation\, water cycles\, cultural memory\, and regenerative potential. We’ll explore the tension between human intervention and letting nature lead\, and how landscape\, vegetation\, and site planning can create a future where buildings are more deeply attuned to the land they inhabit.  \nModerator: \n\nHeather Sandy Hebert – Author and Founder of True North Creative Studio\n\nPanelists \n\nColby Eierman – Director of Gardens\, Stone Edge Farm; Author and garden consultant\nCarson Howell Costa – Regenerative Practices Department\, Backen & Backen\nLucas Dexter – President\, DEXTER estate landscapes\nJohnson Bullard – Partner and Studio Director of Ground Studio

SUMMARY:Designing the Future of Aging
DESCRIPTION:We are in the midst of a longevity revolution. This isn’t just about longer lifespans; it’s about living those years more fully. The number of people over 80 globally is projected to triple between 2020 and 2050. As this population expands\, so does the diversity of their preferences\, interests\, passions\, and ambitions. They are not a monolithic group defined solely by age\, but a vibrant tapestry of individuals. \nSo\, with that\, how can we design for a future that celebrates that complexity? \nJoin us for a hands-on workshop where creativity meets foresight. AGE OF_ and Near Future Laboratory will guide participants through design fiction methodologies—a unique\, immersive approach that brings imagined futures to life through artifacts\, storytelling\, and scenario-building. Together\, we’ll explore the cultural\, technological\, and emotional shifts reshaping the aging experience and prototype future products\, services\, and narratives that challenge the status quo. \nThis is more than a conversation—it’s a collaborative act of future-making. Let’s stretch our imaginations\, spark unconventional thinking\, and design a world where getting older unlocks new possibilities. \nJoin us to make “better with age” not just a mindset—but a movement.
