Immerse yourself in the world of Ralph Chesse, a prolific artist who made a lasting impact on the Bay Area arts and theater scene, at the opening reception for Ralph Chesse: A San Francisco Century. The program starts with the San Francisco Puppeteers Guild meeting, which is open to the public. Then, join exhibition curator Glen Helfand on a tour of the exhibition; watch a demonstration of different puppet styles with local puppeteer Fred C. Reilly III; hear about Ralph's life and work from Bruce Chesse, Ralph's son and collaborator; and mingle with friends over light snacks and live music by Kitten on the Keys in celebration of the life and legacy of this San Francisco legend.
