ARTALKS | Gregangelo Museum

MUSEUM SPEAKER SERIES

Step into San Francisco’s most unexpected third space, a living fusion of community center, performing arts center, and Makerspace, where creativity is served with a home-cooked meal. Every week features a new presenter, from artists to innovators, ensuring each visit is a one-of-a-kind encounter. Every ARTALKS is personally hosted by Gregangelo, the museum’s eccentric proprietor, who shares stories, answers questions, and invites you into the wonder of his ever-evolving world. A feast for the senses, connection, conversation, and creativity await curious minds who crave an experience found only in San Francisco.

BE A PRESENTER

We are calling on fascinating people in their fields with bold voices: artists, educators, scientists, tech innovators, activists, and musicians or anyone with a ten-minute spark of insight, humor, or heart. ARTALKS welcomes presenters whose stories inspire community action and celebrate San Francisco’s creative pulse. From sing-alongs to social impact, from laughter to civic engagement, if your talk uplifts, engages, or awakens potential, we want to hear from you.

Your ARTALKS experience begins with a lively ten-minute presentation from local artists, luminaries, and cultural innovators. It's followed by a picnic lunch in The Garden of Innocence, where, as one artist said, “being here feels like celebrating a major holiday every day.” Then venture behind the scenes through our imaginative art center, community space, and working art studio. Meet the artists, explore local artwork in progress, and maybe even add your own touch within this shared space.
