Participate: City Art Biz and Meetings in October<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s your schedule<\/p>\n
The Arts Commission<\/a> meets online and in person on the first Monday of each month, but in September it will meet Oct. 5 at 2 p.m. Room 125, War Memorial Veterans Building, 401 Van Ness Ave.<\/p>\n Advisory Committee of Street Artists, <\/a>Oct 7 at 10:30. Room 125, War Memorial Veterans Building, 401 Van Ness Ave.<\/p>\n Civic Design Review Committee<\/a>, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m. City Hall, Room 416\u00a0and streamed online. via SFGovTV.<\/p>\n Visual Arts Committee<\/a>, Oct. 21, 2 p.m. City Hall, Room 416\u00a0and streamed online via SFGovTV.\u00a0<\/p>\n At the Museums<\/p>\n It\u2019s a difficult time for many of the city\u2019s museums and cultural centers. The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts has suspended operations.<\/a> City Hall promises action, but in the meantime, it\u2019s a significant loss of children\u2019s programming, exhibits, and events. You can donate here<\/a>. SOMArts is also trying to fill a budget gap. You can donate here<\/a>.<\/p>\n SFMOMA<\/a><\/p>\n Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m; Wednesdays, closed; Thursdays, noon to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n There\u2019s lots going on here. <\/p>\n \u201cRM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me<\/a>,\u201d opens Oct. 3 with member previews Oct. 1 and 2. RM is pop royalty and has quite the collection. We have a review coming up. Apparently, however, tickets are selling fast so you might want to book here. <\/a><\/p>\n Giant Arc<\/a>,\u201d Jacob Hashimoto\u2019s largest is up at SFMOMA on the first floor and the public can walk in and see it for free! It\u2019s some 75,000 elements transformed into a cloud canopy that covers the Roberts Family Gallery floor ceiling.<\/p>\n \u201cGraciela Iturbide: Between Two Worlds,<\/a>\u201d through Nov. 29. The exhibit of the Mexican photographers work includes photos from five decades of work. <\/p>\n After looking at 140 nominations and having studio visits with\u00a016 finalists<\/a>, the three SECA award winners have been announced: CrossLypka<\/a>, Em Kettner<\/a>, and Chanell Stone<\/a>. Congratulations! The three artists will have a show from Dec. 12, 2026, to May 30, 2027.<\/p>\n Here is a taste of their work.<\/p>\n \u201cReimagined: The Fisher Collection at 10,\u201d a rehanging and consideration of the collection, is open.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a spectacular collection, and KQED has a good piece<\/a> on the reinstallation. The New York Times has also published a piece<\/a> on the Fishers\u2019 relationship with the museum and the rehanging of the family\u2019s collection, writing it is \u201cunlike anything SFMOMA has done in its 90 years.\u201d<\/p>\n It ranges over four floors. <\/p>\n Alexander Calder<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen: \u201cThinking Big<\/a>.\u201d (on Floor 3.) <\/p>\n \u201cWays of Seeing: Fourteen Artists<\/a>\u201d\u00a0(on Floor 4)<\/p>\n \u201cCalder, Kelly, LeWitt: Fundamentals of Form<\/a>\u201d\u00a0(on Floor 5)<\/p>\n \u201cMemory and Matter: Personal and Collective Histories<\/a>\u201d\u00a0(on Floor 6)<\/p>\n \u201cRose B Simpson: Behold\u201d<\/a> is on view on SFMOMA\u2019s fourth-floor terrace.

While she still lives at the pueblo and has her studio close by, she has forged a different creative path, while examining the past, present and future.\u201d<\/p>\n Simpson\u2019s exhibit is all part of the opening of four galleries dedicated to Arts of Indigenous America, which draws on the permanent collections, new acquisitions and artists like Simpson. <\/p>\n The New York Times has an excellent piece<\/a> by Carolina A.
