Cutting-edge programming will continue throughout the weekend with panel discussions and keynote speakers. Highlights include a conversation about late conceptual artist David Ireland's home and exhibition space, 500 Capp Street, featuring the San Francisco cultural leaders who are currently spearheading the conservation and restoration of this important space, as well as the panel discussion Seeing Art Differently, featuring the founders of Museum Hack and Sartle.com and SFMOMA's Head of Interpretive Media. Assistant Curator Emma Acker will speak to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's upcoming Robert Motherwell exhibition, and the San Francisco Art Dealers Association and ArtCare will present Public Art in Action: Beyond Beautification, a panel discussion focused on public art and creative placemaking initiatives in the Bay Area and the diverse ways in which artist interventions can encourage community engagement in the urban public realm.
