Description:  San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) Welcomes MAX, San Francisco Hiking Club and other LGBTQ clubs on Sunday, May 7 for up to 25 people.  Open 11:00am - 5:00pm with gathering at 2:00pm.  SFMOMA welcomes MAX and select LGBTQ clubs with free admission to the museum plus a free drink. This is not the free monthly day that is open to the general public;  SFMOMA  is reaching out to the LGBTQ community to expand awareness of what SFMOMA offers to our community. We will be able to visit the entire museum from 11am to 5pm.  MAX plans to gather at 2:00pm to socialize among the LGBTQ attendees with one free cocktail at the no-host bar.  More details on this will follow later.

SFMOMA is one of the largest modern and contemporary art museums in the United States. For additional information on SFMOMA and upcoming exhibits, go to https://www.sfmoma.org

Among the many collections and exhibits on display with be Oakland-based artist Sadie Barnette’s The New Eagle Creek Saloon (2019) that reimagines San Francisco’s first black-owned gay bar, opened by the artist’s father, Rodney Barnette, in 1990. The New Eagle Creek Saloon served as a safe gathering space for the multiracial queer community marginalized by the city’s queer nightlife scene at the time. For more information on this exhibit, go to: https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/sadie-barnette-the-new-eagle-creek-saloon/

MAX is the lead LGBTQ group and has invited supportive LGBTQ groups such as the San Francisco Hiking Club to this event. This event is free, but registration on the MAX website is required at: https://maxsf.org/event-5191879
Please register here on the SFHC site as well.

Sign up soon as this event will likely fill up.  Several other LGBTQ groups also will be registering. MAX dues-paying members will get early notice.  Registrants will be put on the MAX guest list for museum admission and be given a drink coupon. If you register and cannot attend, please cancel out of courtesy and for planning purposes.

Event hosts are Roman Gronkowski and Jim Tom. For additional information, contact Jim at jim.tom@maxsf.org
