SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Kara Walker's new commission "Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine)" opens Monday, July 1 in our free Roberts Family Gallery. “The work exists as a way for us to understand collective memory and moves us through many emotions — beauty, a dystopian sense of the world, a view of the real and the imagined.” — Kara Walker Learn more about the exhibition here: https://lnkd.in/gW4cb9kT #KaraWalker #ArtMuseum #SanFrancisco #BayArea

"'Art of Noise' comprises more than 800 pieces ... four more sound installations generate some artful noise all their own. But the show’s true subject might be our very relationship to music." — Chris Colin, The New York Times We're inviting you to listen closer with "Art of Noise."

Before we had our Education, Development, and Marketing teams, we had our Women's Board! This talented group of women established the foundation of SFMOMA as we know it today. From 1934-1977, the Women's Board raised money, organized social functions, and created educational programs — often working these events themselves. "They were of a type to respond with more conviction to other more serious interests," our founder Grace McCann Morley said in a 1960 interview. "That’s why I called on them so continuously and so urgently [...] to give me support in the educational development of the museum." See archival photos of the women in action, and learn more about their contributions to our museum: https://bit.ly/4c1eIjB P.S. Note their incredible office decor — Kenzo Okada's "Quality" (1956). This artwork is currently on view on Floor 2! [Photo from SFMOMA Archives, Women's Board Meeting with Grace McCann Morley, 1956] #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #SanFrancisco #ArtMuseums #BayArea
