NoCal | MeetAT at ‘Neon Was Never Brighter: A Glimpse Into The Future’
April 30, 2022 | 3:00 pm
Join ArtTable’s Northern California chapter for a MeetAT at Neon Was Never Brighter: A Glimpse Into The Future. This is the first-ever contemporary art festival in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Experience more than 20 activations and works by artists in social practice, film, music, dance, performance, and visual arts—all highlighting Chinatown’s arts and history, or presaging new beginnings and future prosperities.
Our afternoon will begin with an introduction by festival curator and ArtTable member Candace Huey, and a meet and greet with the participating artists. Attendees will also receive a sample of breakout perfumer Yosh Han’s “longevity scent” and other themed goodies and refreshments.
At 4 PM, a healing art procession will perform acts of light, hope, and joy for Chinatown spaces that have suffered through the last two years. The festival continues until 10pm with art activations, performances, and a fashion show, to be explored on your own. Click here to view the full schedule of events!
This program is free and open to members and non-members.
