Overview

It’s summer in San Francisco. Time to bundle up, curse the merciless winds under your breath and pretend you’re in Santa Monica. Save your weather woes for another season, though: On July 30 and August 20, YBCA will be transformed into a sizzling oasis of visual art, performance, film, music, workshops, cross-disciplinary symposia, food, drink and unfettered access to the 25+ local artists featured in our Bay Area Now 6 triennial. And save the date for your own off-site, self-curated Push Play > community art tour on Sept 17.

This is how we push play at YBCA.
