If you know San Francisco, you know Ruth Asawa! Happy Ruth Asawa Day! In 1982, San Francisco declared February 12 to be Ruth Asawa Day in honor of her work as an artist and advocate for arts education in the city. Opening on April 5, “Ruth Asawa: Retrospective” will present the full range of the artist’s groundbreaking practice, offering an in-depth look at more than 300 works that span her six-decade career—including her iconic wire sculptures, paintings, works in clay, and rarely seen works. We invite you to discover Asawa’s resilience and creativity, from her childhood to her career in San Francisco, where she became a symbol of innovation and community.  🎟️ Tickets go on sale Feb 18 for members, Mar 11 for the general public.
