Focused entirely on raising funds to provide vital services to many of
San Francisco’s most vulnerable citizens, the Conard House Gala helps a
generous community underwrite the development of innovative services in
supportive housing, mental health treatment, life-skills training and
employment training and services to help people exit the system of care
and join the San Francisco community as contributing members of our
city. We anticipate that the Conard House Gala will become not only a
significant event for our organization but for the city as a whole.

With so many opportunities to intrigue the senses and for such a good cause, this is an event not to miss!

Mark di Suvero is an internationally acclaimed sculptor whose unique abstract expressionist style has marked him as one of the most influential and iconic sculptors of our time. di Suvero uses a variety of industrial materials, such as steel and I-beams, to create dynamic works that are integrated into a variety of outdoor settings. In 1982, SFMOMA acquired di Suvero’s work Ferro (1978–82), in which the artist used steel to create a piece that is compelling in terms of composition, form, and sense of movement. Ferro is currently on view in SFMOMA’s Rooftop Garden.

“As much as this award confers a distinction upon the artist from our institution and from our auxiliary, this is certainly an occasion where the recipient confers a certain distinction upon us as well. Mark di Suvero is a profoundly talented artist. The Bay Area Treasure Award Dinner will be not only highly educational and exciting, we are also sure that all of our patrons and guests will walk away feeling as if their lives gained a bit of perspective and depth,” says Modern Art Council President Joni Binder Shwarts.
