The Forum: The Future of the Arts and the Regeneration of San Francisco

San Francisco is home to some of the nation's most important and forward-thinking arts institutions. What is their role in shaping a city in the process of revitalization? How are they themselves being shaped by this fast-evolving landscape? Especially against a backdrop of shifting national values, with provocative questions being asked at the highest levels, which directly impact the role and autonomy of museums and culture.

Join us for a candid dialogue between some of San Francisco's pre-eminent arts and civic leaders, moderated by Cathedral Dean Malcolm Clements Young. The panel includes:

Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Alison Gass, Founding Director and Chief Curator, Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco

Dr. Soyoung Lee, The Barbara Bass Bakar Director and CEO, Asian Art Museum

Ned Segal, Chief of Housing and Economic Development, San Francisco

This will be a not-to-be-missed conversation for anyone who cares deeply about our city - and nation. The first in a series of conversations and convening at Grace Cathedral in support of civil dialogue and mutual understanding, this discussion will provide insights into why vibrant arts and cultural institutions are integral to hope, understanding, and urban regeneration.
