Shinoda Toko: Abstract Calligraphy | Asian Art Museum
Feb 6–Sep 15, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
A trailblazer in 20th-century Japanese calligraphy, Shinoda Toko (1913–2021) reshaped the art of ink abstraction with her distinctive and dynamic style.
Shinoda studied traditional calligraphy but soon rejected the practice of copying past masters, likening it to “creating a fake.” A calligrapher at heart, Shinoda preferred lithography over woodblock printing, as it allowed her to directly apply her brushwork to the plate, capturing the nuances of each stroke.
As she transitioned from painting legible Chinese characters toward avant-garde abstraction, Shinoda initially faced resistance in Japan and moved to New York in 1956. “I wanted to see how my works would be received in a foreign country,” she later recalled, “where letters are not read as letters.” Throughout her 107-year lifetime, the artist consistently sought her own vision of beauty, free from the confines of tradition.

Mountains of the Mind: A Chinese Landscape Journey | Asian Art Museum
Jan 30–Jul 28, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Looking to get away from it all? This selection of idyllic landscapes by famed Chinese ink painters, past and present, offers a perfect opportunity to escape the hectic pace of city life in the digital age.
The selection on view offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a masterpiece by Ni Zan (1301-1374), a cultural icon in Chinese history, whose dry, spare brushwork evokes lyrical tranquility and a world cleansed of turmoil during the chaotic period of dynastic transition.
Following the ancient Chinese tradition of mountain worship, many of these landscapes use the contours of sacred mountains and the movements of waters and clouds to embody Daoist philosophy, beckoning the viewer to engage in a personal, cultural, and spiritual communion. As mountains are personified as venerable deities, rivers become their veins; mists are their breath; foliage is their hair; and rocks are their bones.
Beautiful, Bountiful, Boisterous Birds | Asian Art Museum
Feb 6–Sep 15, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Hawks, pheasants, ducks, quail, egrets, and other birds appear frequently in Japanese paintings. With roots in the Chinese “bird and flower” genre, some are traditionally associated with a particular season or sentiment; others were chosen by artists and patrons simply for their beauty.
The paintings currently on view in the Tateuchi Japanese Galleries use birds as both decorations and symbols, representing the seasons, strength, longevity, fidelity, or good fortune. They include decorative rimpa-style paintings; large, Kano-style screen paintings; and intimate hanging scrolls decorated in ink and faint colors.
Yuan Goang-Ming: Everyday War | Asian Art Museum
Apr 3–Aug 4, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
The personal becomes universal in recent work by pioneering Taiwanese artist Yuan Goang-Ming (b. Taipei, 1965), whose starkly poetic videos and installations examine the fragmented and surreal nature of contemporary life.Yuan’s work trains an unblinking, glacially cool digital gaze on poignant scenes of global and domestic unease. From the eerie stillness of empty streets during Taiwan’s annual air raid drills to the chaotic aftermath of an explosion detonated in his own living room, the artist captures moments that resonate with current living conditions worldwide.
Ruth Asawa Retrospective | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Apr 5–Sep 2, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Nearly 12 years after her death, SFMOMA is presenting the first major national and international retrospective of Ruth Asawa’s work, a groundbreaking artist whose work is fully explored in her work. Born in California in 1926, Asawa was forcibly sent to an internment camp during World War II because of her Japanese descent. After her release, she attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina and began a prolific career that spanned six decades, spanning a variety of media from painting to sculpture, often drawing on organic forms and reflecting her deep affection for nature.
The exhibition will feature 300 of Asawa’s works in chronological order, with her signature hanging, looping wire sculptures—known for their “form within a form” constructions—taking a prominent place. The exhibition will also highlight her contributions to art education and public sculpture. In particular, a specially curated gallery will recreate Asawa’s home and studio in San Francisco’s Noe Valley, offering a glimpse into her family life and creative inspirations. The exhibition will feature her sketchbooks and experiments with materials such as copper, ceramic, electroplating and bronze, as well as the original hand-carved mahogany door of her former home and works by artists she admired, such as Josef Albers, Ray Johnson, Peggy Tolk-Watkins and Marguerite Wildenhain.

Around Group f.64: Legacies and Counterhistories in Bay Area Photography | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Nov 23, 2024–Jul 31, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Conversations at a party in Oakland in 1932 changed the history of photography. At that gathering, several now-iconic Bay Area figures — including Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Edward Weston — banded together to form Group f.64, a collective dedicated to “true” photography and the rejection of the prevailing style of Pictorialism, which mimicked painting. The group’s name was technical, referring to the camera lens setting that permits the greatest depth of field, but their mission was creative: to make photographs of startling clarity and beauty that rivaled art made in other mediums. Although Group f.64 lasted for less than a year, its legacy endured, marking the Bay Area as an epicenter for modernist photography.

Gurjeet Singh: When Words Hurt | Asian Art Museum
Apr 3, 2025–Mar 23, 2026 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Chandigarh-based artist Gurjeet Singh’s first show at an American institution offers a moving consideration of the emotional impact of words. Teary Eyes is a soft sculpture stitched together from pieces of dress fabric. Despite a playful, colorful surface, the work conveys a deep vulnerability; this feeling grows deeper as we witness a violent exchange of words in the painting Prickly Words. Portraits of Singh with the figure further personalize the exhibition.
“These works explore what it means to be seen, to express yourself, and the power of language to build us up and tear us down,” says exhibition curator Padma Dorje Maitland, Malavalli Family Foundation Associate Curator of the Art of the Indian Subcontinent. “Even if we accept ourselves and feel confident, the wrong word at the wrong time can deeply impact us. Whether Sikh, South Asian, Queer, soft, or hard, Singh’s work addresses the complex challenges of fashioning how we appear in the world.”
Vikrant Bhise: Archival Historicity/Dalit Panthers | Asian Art Museum
Apr 3, 2025–May 23, 2026 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Filled with a revolutionary spirit, Vikrant Bhise’s Archival Historicity series offers a dynamic visual archive of the Dalit Panthers, a group dedicated to seeking freedom from caste, gender, and labor inequities for India’s most oppressed and marginalized peoples. Founded in 1972 in Mumbai and taking inspiration from the Oakland-based Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Dalit Panthers sought to align themselves with their Bay Area counterparts in a global struggle for equality and social change.
Bhise’s intimate, postcard-sized works are made up of many layers: painted and printed elements from manifestos and pamphlets interact and overlap with newspaper images, urban monuments, and symbolic cartoons. Installed in a continuous sequence spanning a gallery wall, these selections from the ongoing series “evoke the small, localized experiences that add up to global movements, while underscoring the enduring significance of the Panthers’ call for equality,” says Padma Dorje Maitland, Malavalli Family Foundation Associate Curator of the Art of the Indian Subcontinent. This exhibition marks their first showing in a major museum.
Kunié Sugiura: Photopainting | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Apr 26–Sep 14, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
This exhibition is the first US survey of the work of Kunié Sugiura, an artist whose boundary-defying engagement with the photographic medium spans over sixty years. Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1942, Sugiura came to the United States in 1963 to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she majored in photography. After graduation, she relocated to New York and has lived there ever since.
Sugiura’s practice embraces a hybrid approach, blending various mediums and expressing her bicultural identity. The balancing of dualisms —Japanese/American, organic/human-made, and painting/photography — defines her work. Sugiura has stated that her cross-fertilization of photography with painting and sculpture partly stems from her desire that photography be taken seriously as an art form.

Tradition and Innovation: Contemporary Korean Ceramics | Asian Art Museum
May 8–Dec 1, 2025 (UTC-8)
San Francisco
Offering a rare chance to see contemporary Korean ceramics from the museum collection, this exhibition highlights clay creations by four prominent 20th-century artists. Their various approaches, each one an heir to its own creative lineage, demonstrate innovations deeply rooted in Korea’s rich legacy of ceramics production.
On one side, the lively surface textures of stoneware and porcelain works by Roe Kyung-Jo (b. 1951), Kim See-man (b.1958), and Yoon Kwang-jo (b. 1946) bring fresh updates to traditional marbling and glazing techniques. Exhibition curator and Assistant Curator for Korean Art Yoon-Jee Choi notes that “buncheong (분청), the central decoration of Kim and Yoon’s vessels, is one of the most innovative techniques of Korean ceramics; the two artists advance this traditional method by exploring a sense of rhythm and spontaneity.”
Directly opposite are three smooth, black pillars of stacked onggi (옹기) — vessels historically used to carry fermented foods such as kimchi — by Cho Chung-Hyun (b. 1940). Standing as tall as people, each of these appealing works seems animated by its own unique personality, conveyed via subtle variations in shape and size.

Psychedelic Breathwork with Matt Barkin | The Center SF
May 3, 2025 (UTC-7)ENDED
San Francisco
By increasing the flow of oxygen or Prana in our bodies, we can begin to move and release tension.
In this class we shift our focus from the realm of thoughts to the intricate web of electrical signals within our bodies. Regardless of whether you've faced significant stress or trauma, this approach offers profound benefits to the nervous system. The accumulation of daily stressors can strain our bodies and without releasing this tension through expression, it can manifest as depression or disease over time.
Matt Barkin has been practicing breathwork and meditation for over 15 years. His training is rooted in the ancient practices of Buddhist Vipassana and Kriya Yoga. His goal with the breathwork practice is to help ground people so that they can tap into their own self-healing potential. The breathwork technique that Matt facilitates is credited to Yoga and the ancient art of Pranayama.
NOTE: Doors close 15 minutes after the start of class.

Peaceful and Serene Garden
At the crest of the hill, accomplished landscape architect Stephen Marcus designed this mature garden in partnership with the host. The garden features sculptures by Mark Bulwinkle, a kinetic sculpture by George Rickey, and others designed by friends. Flowering trees and large shrubs amid various outdoor spaces are connected by pathways. At this garden you will find citrus, princess bush, camellia, crabapple, pittosporum, rhododendron, heuchera, bird-of-paradise, fuchsia, succulents and much more.
Secret Garden
A gate on Vicksburg allows access to this cute little secret garden which is terraced downward from street level. The property is surrounded by eugenia, Australian willow, and pittosporum, with a Japanese maple that commands the center of the garden surrounded by succulents and annuals. A fun addition in this garden is to spot the painted “critters” that exist here!
Old and Mature
You will find a very large, beautiful and mature garden that has depth and variety at this site. Abutilons line a fence on the East side of the property. A patch of succulents and several palms, some very large, take advantage of the ample morning sunlight. Two 100+ year old redwood trees provide central shade for ferns, heuchera, fuchsia and cymbidium orchids.
Library Garden
At our local library you will discover both sun and shade gardens. This inviting space awaits exploration and allows patrons to enjoy a western shade garden filled with cyclamen, clivia, azaleas and rhododendrons. As you move to the east side, a path of ferns and camellias leads the visitor to a large espaliered plum tree. Here you encounter a sunny garden filled with a riot of color enhanced with California natives and a large lemon tree. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer all your garden and plant related questions.
Middle School Garden
Two gardens at our local middle school are lovingly maintained by students along with the PTSA who support ongoing maintenance and pruning through beautification efforts and community events. Come meet students who take great pride in the care and upkeep of the garden while also learning important gardening skills.

The main plant swap will go from 10-12 so come early for the best selection.
Tropical Garden Oasis
The tropical feel surrounding the front entrance to this garden beckons you to explore the possibilities that exist in the back garden. This entertaining garden offers the best of both sun and shade. Working closely with Kasorn at Ground Cover Landscape to design both the front and back gardens, the homeowner continues to update and modify on her own. This established garden contains roses, citrus, a dawn redwood, fuchsia, bougainvillea, palms and ferns surrounding charming seating and gathering spaces.

Unity through Skateboarding | San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Aug 17, 2024–May 4, 2025 (UTC-8)ENDED
San Francisco
Skateboarding has always been about more than tricks and competitions. It is a culture rooted in rebellion, creativity, style, and the pursuit of freedom. This exhibition, curated by Jeffrey Cheung and Gabriel Ramirez, founders of the skate collective Unity, celebrates the dreams and realities of queer, trans, BIPOC, and women skaters as well as the diverse communities that have shaped the sport, despite histories of hypermasculinity and exclusionary attitudes. Meet the pioneers who broke barriers, from the first women and queer skaters to go pro, to the underground movements that encouraged inclusivity and change in skateboarding. Through skateboards that represent queer and women skaters and artists, skate publications and zines, artworks, photographs, videos, and more, the works featured here explore how communities have fostered unity through a shared ethos of passion and determination. Just as skaters who, despite injuries and setbacks, persistently attempt a trick until they land it, Unity through Skateboarding encourages us to keep pushing for a more inclusive world, both on and off the board.

An Evening with Flamy Grant | Manny's
May 2, 2025 (UTC-7)ENDED
San Francisco
Join us for an unforgettable evening of shame-slaying and hip-swaying with the chart-topping drag queen Flamy Grant! Flamy will join us for the final night of her “Hell or Highwater Tour” in support of her sophomore album,
Church
.
Doors Open: 6 PM
Show Starts: 7 PM
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer Christian spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces.
Part concert, part conversation, Flamy will spend some time discussing faith, identity, and belonging with Rev. Emily McGinley, Senior Pastor of
City Church San Francisco
. Then, with a bold lip, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy will carry us away to a church you may have never known in a soulful, uplifting musical set. Invite a friend, neighbor, or loved one for this inspiring night of music, dialogue, and community!
Flamy’s Bio:
Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian Chart (the first drag performer to achieve this feat), was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards, and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Her single “Good Day” also debuted at #20 on the Billboard Christian digital sales chart, while her recently released sophomore album “CHURCH” has already reached #8 on the iTunes Country Chart.
Flamy has been nominated for 2025 Artist of the Year at the International Folk Music Awards and is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, a 2023 QueerX Award nominee for Best Drag Artist, and a 2023 Queerty Award nominee for Drag Royalty. She has been featured in
Rolling Stone

Entertainment Weekly
,
People
, and more, and her music has over 1.2 million streams on digital platforms.
