News from Adventures & Outings: Explore the Color of Green

By Jill Gorman on April 2, 2021

On Monday April 12th, in partnership with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, BORP’s Adventures & Outings Program will host an exploration of the color green.

We respond emotionally to colors. Green is an ambiguous color: a symbol of life, luck, and hope on the one hand, and a symbol of disorder, poison, the devil and all his creatures on the other. Landscapes are usually full of green as well. This tour will be a chance to get to know all green’s aspects and flavors.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler, The Gold Scab: Eruption in Frilthy Lucre (The Creditor), 1879, oil on Canvas.

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

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

Space is limited.

News from Adventures & Outings: Explore the Life of Frida Kahlo

By Jill Gorman on February 26, 2021

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).

Space is limited.
