Details
A night of expression and indulgence where black tie is your canvas.
Step into a living gallery where San Francisco's creativity, culture, and character come to life through the people in the room. Portrait of a City invites you to be part of the artwork, where every guest contributes to a collective portrait of the city we're building together. You are San Francisco. San Francisco is You.
Come dressed in creative black tie and express your own Portrait of a City. Whether that means classic black tie with unique personal details, bold fashion, or a creative nod to San Francisco, we invite you to showcase what you bring to this city or what the city means to you.
What to Expect
Immersive, energetic, and art-forward. Expect a space filled with Bay Area artists, immersive entertainment produced in partnership with EMPIRE, local chefs and beverage partners, a silent auction highlighting local creatives, and interactive experiences inspired by our theme, Portrait of a City. The line between guest and experience is intentionally blurred, creating an evening designed to spark connection, creativity, and celebration.
At its core, the evening brings together a community that believes in investing in San Francisco and the people shaping what comes next.
All proceeds benefit the Presidio Bay Foundation, whose initiatives advance workforce development, civic engagement, arts and culture, and affordable housing across the Bay Area.
