2569 3rd Street, San Francisco, CA, USA
You're Invited to Buttons On! for DIFFA
Saturday, September 13 · 6-8 p.m.
Museum of Craft and Design | San Francisco
Join DIFFA San Francisco for a vibrant evening celebrating Buttons On!, the joyful and unconventional work of artist Beau McCall.
Presented in partnership with the Museum of Craft and Design, the exhibition honors McCall's signature style-hand-sewn buttons on upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects-spanning nearly four decades of wearable and visual art. Experience bold new creations alongside rarely seen archival pieces.
Proceeds support DIFFA's grant to UCSF's Ward 86 HIV/AIDS programs at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. Since 1984, DIFFA has awarded more than $58 million nationwide, offering flexible, unrestricted funding for care and education. Today, our mission extends to support individuals facing food insecurity, housing instability, and mental health challenges.
Get your ticket and come celebrate art, impact, and community with us.
