Each evening has a unique theme and ties in with the special exhibitions and permanent collections at the de Young. This Friday's juried showcase of multidisciplinary work presents creations by students attending classes, colleges, universities, and alternative education around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Think of it as a one-word manifest: Matter!

Matter! Is the stuff of our lives, the goods that surround us, the fibers we wear, and the atoms of which our bodies are formed. Artists and designers have, in recent years, called for a return to Matter!: new investigations of material culture, a re-invigoration of distinctly handmade objects, and insistent materiality. In an age characterized by post-studio art, others might argue that what matters most today is something immaterial, something social—an artistic form of anti-matter.

Walk in and experience all public programs for FREE! To view the permanent collection or special exhibitions, admission tickets are required.
