10:00 am: Knitting10:00 am: Knitting – Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications. For more info, needle Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316. 5:00 pm: Museum Meanderings: Bonus Edition @ the CJM5:00 pm: Museum Meanderings: Bonus Edition @ the CJM – Museum Meanderings Bonus Edition @ the CJM Setting standards of excellence for their descriptive tours, the CJM once again invites us to enjoy the upcoming exhibit, "Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped," via a verbal descriptive tour not to be missed. Spaces are limited, one guest per LightHouse participant please, and RSVP is required by Monday, October 7 to solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316. About the Exhibit: This exhibition is the first major survey of Annabeth Rosen (b. 1957 Brooklyn, NY), Robert Arneson Chair at UC Davis, and 2018 Guggenheim fellow. Within the genre's trajectory, Rosen functions as an integral link between such artists as Peter Voulkos, Jun Kaneko, Mary Heilman, Lynda Benglis, and a new generation of artists working in ceramics. From monumental sculptures binding multitudes of discrete works together in a gravity-defying feat, to undulating drawings that illustrate the meticulous intention behind the artist’s creative process, this exhibition celebrates the diverse and prolific career of this pioneer of ceramic sculpture. |

1:00 pm: Talking Titles1:00 pm: Talking Titles – Talking Titles Calling all book worms and word nerds! Let's talk titles, talking titles, that is. We're grabbing great titles from the National Library Services, devouring great reads in our preferred format, and gathering on the monthly to share all the feels, the highlights, the low-lights, and dissect with reckless abandon. Keep reading for more details on NLS if you are new to the alternative format book game, and contact Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316 to suggest titles, submit queries or simply RSVP. About NLS: 7:00 pm: Jess Curtis/Gravity Presents: (in)Visible7:00 pm: Jess Curtis/Gravity Presents: (in)Visible – Jess Curtis/Gravity Presents: (in)Visible (in)Visible, a new evening-length work by Jess Curtis/Gravity, dislocates vision from the center of your experience. Developed in collaboration with—and particularly focusing on access to culture for—blind and visually impaired audiences, (in)Visible is created and performed by an international cast of six blind, visually impaired and sighted body-based dancer/performers who dance, sing, whisper and feel their way into your consciousness, bringing experimental dance/performance and sensory accessibility practices into a rich and moving interaction. LightHouse will be taking in the Friday 10/11 show and you can join us for $10 (saving you a visit to the website to make your own purchase and we've picked up the ticket surcharge), and thanks to the generous support of the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS), San Francisco residents are FREE. We’ll start by sharing a bite to eat starting around 5, then venture to the theater together to enjoy the pre-show haptic tour starting at 7. Show will start promptly at 8 and no late seating is permitted. Dinner is optional. Secure your ticket for this performance by RSVPing to Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316 and indicate whether you’d like to join the group for dinner beforehand. Audio description and haptic tours will be offered for the duration of the show's run, October 3-13, and other accessibility accommodations are available. For more information about (in)Visible, visit their website. |
