On July 12th, in partnership with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, BORP’s Adventures & Outings Program will host an exploration of summertime artwork with docents Amy Finkel, Tom Traylor and Lelia Lanctot.

Each of us may have a favorite season but also enjoy every season for its special qualities. Summertime will explore four artists’ views of summer in the FAMSF collection. One is a summer school poster by a Bay Area artist. Two that celebrate summer harvest are: an 18th Century French ceramic figure; and a 19th Century Japanese woodcut. And one is a British artist’s new look at an old friend who came to his studio on a summer day.

The tour takes place on July 12th from 10:30am to 12pm.

Call Lori at 510-843-4398 for more information (please call after 10am) or email Lori at lori@borp.org.

Space is limited.

Join BORP’s Adventures & Outings Program for a virtual audio-described tour of the De Young’s exhibition, Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving.

At the time of Kahlo’s death in 1954, a treasure trove of the artist’s personal items—including jewelry, clothing, and prosthetics—were locked away. Fifty years later, these belongings were unsealed and are on view for the first time on the West Coast at the de Young Museum.

Discover what these objects reveal about their iconic owner by joining docent Karen Libby who will explore Frida’s life through the personal objects and artwork in the exhibition.

The tour takes place on March 8th, 10:30am to 12pm.

Call Lori at 510-843-4398 for more information (please call after 10am).
