The San Francisco Marathon is a loop course, taking runners on a journey around the city, hitting gorgeous locales and iconic landmarks all along the way. Starting at the world famous Ferry Building, racers head along the Embarcadero, with the beautiful San Francisco bay on their right. From there they pass through Fisherman's Wharf and through the Marina. Next runners head up and back across the Golden Gate Bridge and down through the Presidio, along the Pacific Ocean. A tour of the beautiful Golden Gate Park follows, and after some turns and curves through the trees and around the lakes, runners empty out onto the historic and very colorful Haight street. The course takes some loops through the Mission, Potrero, and Mission Bay Districts, heads by numerous charming little parks, then heads up towards AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. And then it's just a home stretch, under the fancy new Bay Bridge and back up to the Ferry Building. The course is USATF certified and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.

Table Manners brings together tableware, flatware, and drinkware from the SFMOMA Architecture + Design collection spanning nearly 100 years. The exhibition celebrates the ways design has shaped our relationship to food, our bodies, and communities, and how dining can be a profound communal and cultural experience. From self-filling wine glasses and teapots made of tea, to crisp modernist spoons and flatware made from discarded CDs, Table Manners explores the performance of dining. The exhibition includes works by Virgil Abloh, Joe Colombo, Zaha Hadid, Roberto Lugo, and many more, accompanied by illustrations and textiles by Lucy Stark.

Hicks's first solo exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art features a site-specific installation in the museum's "New Works" gallery. These works are inspired by objects, textures, and patterns she observed during her settled urban lives or periods of migration. Each piece draws on places that hold special personal significance for her, from the pebbles of her backyard to the towering lighthouse and rugged terrain of the French Île de la Ouesand.

Dance and photography operate on different temporal planes. One unfolds over time through fluid movement, whereas the other freezes that motion in a single, suspended frame. Something electric happens when these two art forms merge. Since the early 20th century, photographers have been drawn to dancers not only to document them but to grapple with the problem of rendering motion through stillness. As technology improved, dance photography moved beyond an advertising function. Photographers began to make images in which rhythm was palpable.Drawn primarily from SFMOMA's permanent collection, Feel the Beat: Dance in Photographs traces different ways image makers have represented dance. The exhibition opens in the Bay Area with dancer and choreographer Anna Halprin. In the decades after World War II, her experimental approach to movement transformed dance with her belief that it emerges through everyday gestures. The next gallery examines the collaboration between professional dancers and photographers, foregrounding the discipline and emotional intensity of trained bodies before the lens. At its center is the series Kamaitachi, Eikoh Hosoe's partnership with Tatsumi Hijikata, founder of Butoh, a radical postwar form of Japanese dance theater. The final gallery shifts from the stage to social spaces, anchored by Malick Sidibé's Mali Twist, where amateur dancers in clubs and parties radiate collective energy. Together, these works position photographers not as spectators, but as full participants in the experience of dance.
