If So, What?: An NEW Art Event Worth Going To
April 21, 2018
A brand new art experience is coming to San Francisco called If So, What? at the Palace of Fine Arts on April 26-29, 2018! This revolving exhibition will include art galleries, concerts, multi-media installations, AR and VR displays along with a series of panels featuring some of the most innovative leaders in the art and technology space.
We got to go behind-the-scenes with Co-Founder Linda Helen Gieseke to find out what inspired the event and her favorite highlights.

What makes this event so unique? The If So, What? team will be completely transforming the Palace of Fine arts into a giant gallery where you can experience, interact and learn more about art and artists from around the world. Each day will be different and there will be VIP experiences, concerts, panels and social gatherings to meet others that share the same passion for arts.
The name 'If So, What?" came from the notion of - if art and design are accessible, supported and prominent in our city, what would happen?. Co-Founder Linda Helen Gieseke found that in Europe (where she's from) there are so many art and design events but not much in San Francisco.
This year she has been dedicated and worked hard to curate a fun and interactive experience that is relatable and current to Silicon Valley. "People will be completely surrounded by art in a grand space yet also have the ability to have intimate conversations with the creators and artist," says Linda.

Here is a sneak peek of the incredible designs that you will see! We don't know about you but we could watch this all day... it's so mesmerizing!
