  • This is our current view here at @fortmasoncenter. The smoke is bad (notice how you can’t even see Angel Island just across the bay!) due to the Camp Fire still raging in Butte County. Escape the poor air quality this weekend by heading indoors. Here are some ideas to get you started: ➖ “Empathy and EQ in the Age of Artificial Emotional Intelligence” panel discussion @southernexposuresf 11/16 7 - 9:30 p.m. ➖ @WestCoastCraft at the Festival Pavilion in @fortmasoncenter 11/17 & 11/18 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. ➖ Artist Al Farrow in conversation with Catharine Clark during the @museumofcraftanddesign Curator Walk-through 11/17 12 - 1:30 p.m. ➖ Any other suggestions? Add them in the comments below! __ Most important of all, if you have the means to do so, please donate to Camp Fire relief efforts. We’ve posted a link in our profile to @KQED’s resource page for vetted charities and other ways to help out.
  • In honor of Veterans Day we’re sharing an image from Krzysztof Wodiczko’s “Veterans’ Flame.” The work was included in FOR-SITE’s 2016 exhibition “Home Land Security,” and featured the voices of veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars sharing their stories and experience. According to Wodiczko, the work was not only an opportunity for those veterans to begin the process of healing, but, for observers of the work, to decrease their distance to veterans. If we can decrease the distance between us, he believes, we may reduce the need for such work in the future. 📷: @robertdiversherrick __ Thank you to all our veterans — your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
  • Due to the poor air quality from the Camp Fire in Butte County, @presidiosf is closing “Tree Fall” this weekend and canceling the scheduled guided hike of the Goldsworthy installations. If you’re still looking to get your art fix, head on over to @sfmoma, which is graciously offering free admission to its 2nd floor permanent collection. Thank you SFMOMA! __ Keeping everyone affected by the fire on our minds and in our hearts — stay safe everyone!
  • In honor of #ElectionDay, a #regram from artist @tirtzahbassel. Go vote!
