SFMOMA Welcomes MAX

On May 7, SFMOMA welcomed MAX to the museum and to a drink at The New Eagle Creek Saloon that reimagined San Francisco’s first black-owned gay bar opened by the artist’s father. The New Eagle Creek Saloon art installation also functioned as a bar in a club-like setting with atmospheric lights and music. MAX was the lead LGBTQ group and invited Black Tie Club, SF Hiking Club and the SF Men's Club to this event. Attendees enjoyed the social mixer at the Saloon and were able to view all museum exhibits at their leisure. Some MAXers also met beforehand for lunch at the nearby Tropisueno prior to visiting SFMOMA.
