Recent developments at San Francisco's Embarcadero Plaza have sparked discussions about its future as various revitalization projects emerge. Critics, including Docomomo US/NOCA, advocate for the preservation of the iconic Vaillancourt Fountain. On May 23, the organization will host a picnic featuring artist Armand Vaillancourt, who will share insights on his work and its historical significance. Additionally, the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) is set to launch 'Routed West,' an exhibition of over 3,000 quilts that highlight the artistic contributions of the African American community during the Second Great Migration. The events reflect a vibrant intersection of history and art.
