Please join San Francisco alumni and friends at the inaugural Meet Me in St. Louie Ball! You will be able to get your picture taken in front of Brookings Hall or the Saint Louis Arch in our photo booth and dance the night away to a DJ. Come dressed to impress in cocktail attire and bring along friends and/or partners. The evening will include hors d’oeuvres and desserts from Wise Sons and a three-hour open bar.
You will also be able to visit the Koshland Gallery to view Contraption: Rediscovering California Jewish Artists, a group show that presents the work of sixteen California-identified artists of Jewish descent—both historical and living—whose work refers to the machine either literally or metaphorically. Some of the artists are rarely seen now. Among the living artists, there will be large-scale mechanical installations by Bernie Lubell and Sheri Simons, as well as ceramics, drawings, sculpture and paintings by Ned Kahn, Bella Feldman, Howard Fried, and Annabeth Rosen. This original exhibition was co-curated by Chief Curator Renny Pritikin and Mark Dean Johnson, Professor of Art at SFSU.
