OPENING SATURDAY 3/25

TAROT IN PANDEMIC & REVOLUTION

 

CAST debuts its inaugural exhibition inspired by a tarot deck for the times, featuring 62 visual artists & poets from around the San Francisco Bay Area

In partnership with Baldocchi Projects & Collaborations and artist/curator Adrián Arias, Tarot in Pandemic & Revolution is an immersive display of art, poetry, live music, interactive installations, local food, and tarot at 447 Minna and the Parks at 5M.
 

“Every artist has their own philosophy and way to talk about what is happening in our reality,” said curator Adrián Arias. “I’m not the creator, I’m just the instigator. It shows if you use your dreams in this way with your community, you can make it a reality and help reality to be better.”


This exhibition at 447 Minna marks the first time all 81 original works will be on view to the public and the first time all four floors of the 447 Minna building will be open since CAST completed the last of its renovations in February 2023.

Though parts of the building have been open since March 2022, CAST’s newest 2nd floor was built out specifically to address the needs of the SoMa community for a flexible arts and community space. The opening, which honors cultural exchange, community connections, and the vibrancy art brings to neighborhoods, also ushers in a celebration of CAST’s 10th anniversary.
