Ticket Info Free Admission | | Amanda Williams: Bless Your Lil' Heart Museum
Amanda Williams will bear her heart, literally and figuratively, for all of San Francisco and its visitors. Williams is one of six artists exclusively selected by the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation for the fourth installation of the Hearts in San Francisco project. Williams will put her own artistic touch on a 400-pound, fiberglass heart sculpture, which will be displayed San Francisco's Union Square. Williams' rendering involves transferring a faded black and white photo of her Aunt Betty and Aunt Sylvia, shown as toddlers, which serves as the pulse of her heart, onto a backdrop of a series of red-layered glazes and drips. Excerpts from a handwritten letter penned by Aunt Betty will also be transferred before it is emblazoned with a high gloss finish. Time: Monday-Sunday 6:00am-12:00am
