Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
The YBCA, which opened in 1993, anchors the sprawling Yerba Buena complex, with two buildings that offer music, theater, dance, and visual arts programs and shows. It’s a bit of an architectural showpiece in its own right as well: James Stewart Polshek designed the 755-seat theater, and Fumihiko Maki designed the Galleries and Arts Forum, which features three galleries and a space designed especially for dance. Exhibits range from architecture to activism as well as traveling versions of shows for other museums. Tip: For the cost of viewing YBCA’s curated monthly series of video or film screenings—mostly experimental film and documentaries—you can get into YBCA’s galleries for free.
