Yerba Buena Center for the Arts

With support from the California Arts Council, #YBCA provided 48 Bay Area artists with a living wage for over a year as they partnered with local nonprofits on creative collaborations. Known as the #CreativeCorpsInitiative, each artist led a project to inspire and uplift their communities — focused on civic engagement, climate justice, community wellness, or social justice. In celebration of their work, we’re showcasing highlights from their creative projects in our galleries from Friday, August 16-Sunday, September 15. Discover what these artists created across every county and region of the Bay Area. → https://bit.ly/3WsD6EZ

Today, we honor the extraordinary work and life of Fumihiko Maki, the visionary Japanese architect who passed away at his Tokyo home on June 6, 2024. Renowned for fusing modernism with traditional architecture, Maki's adaptive, elegant, and understated approach to design has left an indelible mark on the world including the design of our building at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. A 1993 Pritzker Prize and AIA Gold Medal laureate, Maki's influence spans the globe, with notable projects across Japan, the United States, Switzerland, China, and India. Among his acclaimed works are the 72-story 4 World Trade Center and the MIT Media Lab extension among many others. We invite you to learn more about his remarkable legacy in this reflection from board member and Design Principal at Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture Amy Eliot. → https://bit.ly/3REnxr1 Photos courtesy of Maki and Associates and Jean Baptiste Paris
