  • #Regram from our executive director @cheryllhaines who is in NYC this week for the opening of @aiww's "Hansel & Gretel" -- an exhibition that explores the meaning of public space in our surveillance-laden world.
  • The @presidiosf art docents give so much of their time, energy, and enthusiasm to providing visitors with a rich experience of the #AndyGoldsworthy installations, and we're incredibly grateful! We had a lovely afternoon last week celebrating their work and Andy's while he was in town working on #WoodLine. 📷: Charity Vargas (@cvpphoto), courtesy of @presidiosf #ArtAboutPlace
  • #AndyGoldsworthy and the @presidiosf forestry crew have been hard at work this week conserving "Wood Line." Here's a [very!] quick look courtesy of our Program Director @jaxvontreskow. #ArtAboutPlace
  • Big news! @aiww's "Trace" is headed to the @hirshhorn where it will be exhibited from June 28 through January 1, 2018. At this moment in time, we can't think of a better place for the work to be than right there in the heart of our nation's capital. #ArtAboutPlace
