Last month, Lewis & Llewellyn Partner Becca Furman attended the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Justice and Diversity Center’s 20th Annual Gala: Advocacy in Action. As part of its commitment to expanding diversity in the legal profession and its support of equal access to legal services, the firm was a proud sponsor of the event.
As you may have heard, the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (“ICA SF”) is moving from its current building in Dogpatch to a new space downtown, a stone’s throw from the headquarters of Lewis & Llewellyn. We are proud to be sponsoring the opening of the ICA SF, especially because it is part of a broader movement to reenergize the financial district.
Like Lewis & Llewellyn, ICA SF was founded with the ideal of staying nimble. For example, it offers free admission to all and embraces non-traditional exhibition formats. ICA SF will open with three fall exhibitions: The Poetics of Dimensions curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Maryam Yousif: Riverbend, and Spotlight: Kathleen Ryan. Details about the museum’s opening can be found here.
