SF's art scene is back— 9 summer shows you shouldn’t miss

San Francisco's art scene is showing signs of recovery after a difficult period marked by the pandemic, federal arts grant cuts, and museum closures. June brought positive developments: the Headlands Center for the Arts raised record funds at its annual auction, the shuttered San Francisco Art Institute plans to reopen as an artist studio, and local criticism magazine SquareCylinder is returning. The article highlights nine summer exhibitions across the Bay Area, including shows by Ruby Neri, William T. Wiley, Hank Willis Thomas, Charlie Tweddle, and Shepard Fairey, ranging from public art installations to gallery retrospectives.

Show at Civil War-era fort spotlights California’s Black history from the 19th century to today

Fort Point, a Civil War-era fortification beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, opens the exhibition "Black Gold: Stories Untold" today through November 2. The show features works by 16 contemporary artists and one collective, exploring 19th-century African American life in California—from the Gold Rush onward—highlighting little-known entrepreneurs, activists, soldiers, and musicians. Curated by Cheryl Haines of the non-profit For-Site, the exhibition includes recent works by artists such as Carla Edwards, Isaac Julien, Alison Saar, Yinka Shonibare CBE, and Hank Willis Thomas, alongside new commissions by Demetri Broxton, Adrian L. Burrell, Mildred Howard, and others. The project was two years in the making, privately funded, and developed with a nine-person advisory committee of Black historians and curators.
