SFMOMA Honors the Koret Foundation's 30 Years of Philanthropy
This year marks the Koret Foundation's 30th anniversary, and SFMOMA gratefully acknowledges Koret's visionary and sustained support of the museum, which has totaled more than $6,700,000 since 1985. Each year, SFMOMA visitors benefit tremendously from Koret's generosity, which has funded the presentation of some of our most popular exhibitions, including Marc Chagall, Diane Arbus Revelations, The Art of Romare Bearden, Matisse and Beyond, The Surreal Calder, Picasso and American Art, and William Kentridge: Five Themes. In addition, the foundation has underwritten the construction and operation of the Koret Visitor Education Center, which provides a full calendar of programs and activities for all SFMOMA visitors.
Koret adds to the San Francisco Bay Area's vitality — and to SFMOMA's — by promoting educational opportunities, contributing to a diverse cultural landscape, and bolstering innovative approaches to meeting community needs. Please join us on May 10, 2009 to celebrate the outstanding legacy of the Koret Foundation: admission to SFMOMA will be free in honor of the foundation's 30th anniversary.
SFMOMA Presents Opera in Conjunction with William Kentridge: Five Themes
Acknowledging the profound significance of theatrical work in William Kentridge's oeuvre, SFMOMA brings the artist's multimedia opera The Return of Ulysses to San Francisco in conjunction with the exhibition William Kentridge: Five Themes. The opera will run March 24 through 28 at Project Artaud Theater. We thank the Koret Foundation, Doris and Donald Fisher, the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund, and Nancy and Steven H. Oliver for making this important presentation of Kentridge's exhibition and opera possible. We also thank the National Endowment for the Arts for its generous support of the exhibition tour.
The Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund Launches Art in the Atrium
SFMOMA is honored to receive the generous and exclusive support of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund for Art in the Atrium. A grant of $430,000 has allowed SFMOMA to initiate work on this exciting new endeavor, which will help further the museum's goals of revitalizing its public spaces, attracting new audiences, and creating a forum for public dialogue. SFMOMA's first Art in the Atrium commission features artist Kerry James Marshall, who will produce two murals in the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Atrium in the spaces formerly occupied by Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #935: Color bands in four directions, and Wall Drawing #936: Color arcs in four directions (2000). Marshall's murals, Mount Vernon and Monticello, will be on view beginning February 26, 2009 and continuing into 2010. A full complement of education and community engagement programs will be planned, accompanied by extensive marketing and publicity initiatives targeting audiences throughout the Bay Area.
