Paul Thiebaud Gallery Visit
Society for Asian Art and Asian Art Museum are separate non-profit organizations with separate memberships. Please use the appropriate registration buttons to register for Society programs.
Society Upper Category members are invited to tour the exhibit, "Where Things Begin: American Artists of the Asian Diaspora", at the exciting Paul Thiebaud Gallery in North Beach. This exhibition will explore how Asian-American artists and Asian artists who have spent significant portions of their lives in the U.S. with heritages from across Asia respond to and navigate the influence of both Eastern and Western aesthetics in their works. Several of the artists featured are well known, like Yasuhide Kobashi and Leo Valledor, and many are currently working and teaching in the Bay Area.
As part of our gallery visit, we will have the opportunity to tour the first solo exhibition at the Paul Thiebaud Gallery by Bay Area artist Mary Ijichi, who will be on hand to discuss her work and answer questions.
Interested event attendees are also invited to extend the visit with a no-host lunch at the trendy and highly acclaimed Flour & Water Pizzeria, a ten-minute walk from the gallery. If you would like to participate in this lunch, please contact Anne Kahn (anneqadams@aol.com) right away, so she can include you when she makes a restaurant reservation in mid April.
This event is limited to a maximum of 20 people, so please sign up immediately.
