“The History of Bay Area Figurative Art” - Lost Art Salon
Thing one: The Story of Bay Area Figurative Art at lost art salon
On Thursday, April 17th at 6pm, Lost Art Salon will host a lecture, “The History of Bay Area Figurative Art,” led by co-owner/founder, Rob Delamater.
The hour-long lecture will focus on the 1950s movement that propelled Bay Area art onto the global stage—the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Visionary artists like David Park, Richard Diebenkorn, and Lost Art Salon’s artist, Alysanne McGaffey. Each pioneered a distinctive style that fused the energy of Abstract Expressionism with a commitment to depicting the human form.
The event is free, but seating is limited and at capacity. A public reception will be held after at 7 pm and is open to all without RSVP. For future events, follow Lost Art on Instagram or sign up for their newsletter through their website here.

thing three: hunky jesus in dolores park
Do not come to this event expecting a prayer meeting though you will hear roaring “Hallelujahs” from the crowd as they await the return of Jesus, correction Hunky Jesus.
This uniquely SF tradition is hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It is family and pet friendly, but expect some nudity or near nudity (aka Jesus in a loincloth). It is technically an alcohol-free event, but you will see discreet libations.
