Caldwell Snyder Gallery presents an exhibition featuring works by José Villalobos and Regina Saura, bringing together two distinct approaches to contemporary painting.
Oaxaca-born Villalobos draws upon his architectural background to create abstract compositions defined by geometric forms, spatial relationships, and dynamic movement. Barcelona-born Saura works with vibrant color, gestural marks, collage, and layered imagery inspired by nature, travel, and memory.
Together, their works create a compelling dialogue between structure and spontaneity, exploring color, movement, and abstraction through two unique artistic perspectives.
The exhibition is on view September 30 through October 31. The gallery is open Monday–Saturday, 10 AM–5 PM.
Admission is free and open to the public — Appointments recommended.

The San José Museum of Art (SJMA) and the City of San Jose Climate Art Program (SJ Climate Art) are pleased to hold its second symposium dedicated to the intersection of art and climate, themed Reimagining Our Waterways.
Responding to the effects of drought, climate change, pollution, and the diversion of waterways, SJMA and SJ Climate Art has invited artists from the Bay Area, wider US, and abroad to present on projects they have developed which re-establish connections between humans and the water sources they rely on.

These case studies reflect how crucial artistic tools and thinking are to reimagining and implementing alternatives to official systems.

Created by Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Romain Collin and producer/electronic musician Jeremy Loucas, the performance grew from Collin's six-month artistic retreat in the remote Icelandic highlands, where silence, vast landscapes, and isolation inspired a striking new creative vision.
Performed entirely live using modular synthesizers, tape machines, keyboards, and custom analog instruments-with no pre-recorded tracks-FOSS surrounds audiences with richly layered ambient soundscapes, projection-mapped visuals, and a quadraphonic sound system. The result is a mesmerizing, genre-defying performance that blurs the boundaries between music, film, nature, and technology.

Breaking the Silence Like a Badass
🔗 Register: https://www.rachelgrantcoaching.com/cptsdworkshop/
For many survivors of abuse, silence can become a way of life.
Maybe you were told to keep the abuse a secret. Maybe you chose not to tell because you didn't think anyone would understand or believe you. Or maybe you've tried to share your story and were met with denial, minimization, or responses that left you wishing you'd stayed quiet.
Join Coach Rachel Grant for a free 90-minute masterclass designed to help you explore whether - and how - you can break the silence in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and true to you.
You'll learn how to prepare for difficult conversations about the abuse, stay connected to yourself when emotions arise, and shift from confrontation to self-expression so you can speak your truth without making someone else's response the measure of your healing.
This is not about forcing yourself to tell someone before you're ready. It's about understanding what you need in place to use your voice with greater…

It's 1970s Ohio, and Lizzie has gathered a group of women in a rec center basement to change their lives and maybe the world. Decades later, Lizzie’s daughter delves into her mother’s history to find answers to the feminist revolution’s unanswered questions, reliving those necessary, messy, and impassioned meetings that asked: What does it mean for a woman to be free? Direct from its acclaimed Broadway run, Tony Award-winners Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and director Whitney White (Jaja's African Hair Braiding) bring ferocious wit and emotional precision to this intensely relevant and bitingly funny memory play about what we inherit, what we forget, and what we're still fighting to understand.

About the Event
This year marks the 250-year anniversary of the arrival of the Anza Expedition. In 2026, many events across the Bay Area and beyond have commemorated the arrival of the Anza expedition, which led to the founding of the Presidio and Mission Dolores. The 2026 Kevin Starr lecture will explore the legacy of the expedition and its impact, addressing crucial issues, questions, conflicts, and perspectives that have persisted in the 250 years since Anza’s arrival. A distinguished panel of community-based researchers, scholars, and museum practitioners will examine not only how we view these complex interactions and events, but also how we interpret them in practical contexts such as K-12 schools, universities, historic sites, and museums.
The lecture will take place at the University of San Francisco. An in-person wine and cheese reception will start at 5:30 P.M.

Building a company and leading teams especially in this new age of AI is emotionally demanding. From pressure and uncertainty to team tension and high-stakes decisions, you’re expected to stay clear, steady, and confident through it all.
What most leaders never get is space to slow down and examine the emotional layer shaping their leadership and build the skills to listen and communicate with their team or clients and learn from other leaders.
This is that space.
Led by InsightsOut Cofounders, Nima Imani, Executive Coach and Chelsea Borruano, Mental Health Leader
At InsightsOut, we're building emotional intelligence for the age of AI. We help individuals, leaders and teams understand emotional patterns that shape decisions, trust, and culture through emotional learning and guided practice.

Under the glow of gas lamps, boughs of holly and British flags, The Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party returns to the historic Cow Palace for its 42nd season, running weekends November 21 through December 20, 2026.
Presented for five weekends, including the Friday after Thanksgiving, The Great Dickens Christmas Fair transforms over 140,000 square feet of the Cow Palace Exhibition Halls into an immersive recreation of Christmas Eve in Charles Dickens’ London.
From the moment visitors enter the environment of the Fair, the modern world gives way to bustling streets populated by hundreds of costumed characters: chimney sweeps and street vendors, sailors and shopkeepers, carolers and musicians, literary icons, colorful denizens of Victorian society — and, of course, Mr. Charles Dickens himself!
