Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Cultural Encounters is a year-round series of three interrelated and interconnected programs at the de Young Museum, designed to attract new and diverse audiences to the museums while broadening understanding of and appreciation for the art on display in the permanent and temporary exhibition galleries. Organized and implemented in collaboration with a host of community partners, these programs are intended to engage traditionally non-museum-going audiences through culturally inclusive programs offered during expanded museum hours that will provide for greater accessibility.
