War Memorial Veterans Building
War Memorial Veterans Building Review
Performing- and visual-arts organizations occupy much of this 1930s structure. Also in the building are two galleries that charge no admission.
Herbst Theatre hosts classical ensembles, dance performances, and City Arts and Lectures events. Past City Arts speakers have included author Salman Rushdie and senator and author Al Franken. 415/392-4400.
The street-level San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery displays the works of Bay Area artists. 415/554-6080. Free. Wed.-Sat. noon-5.
The Museum of Performance & Design occupies part of the fourth floor. A small gallery hosts interesting exhibitions, but the organization functions mainly as a library and research center for the San Francisco Bay Area's rich performing-arts legacy. 415/255-4800. Free. Wed.-Sat. noon-5.
