Bay Area creativity goes into overdrive when SFMOMA’s Soapbox Derby returns to McLaren Park for the first time in more than 40 years. The original artists’ derbies from the 1970s were legendary events — between the two races in 1975 and 1978, SFMOMA commissioned cars and trophies from more than 200 artists — including professors emeritus Robert Arneson and Mike Henderson, as well as Ruth Asawa, Ant Farm, Viola Frey, Mike Henderson, Mary Lovelace O’Neal, Richard Shaw, and Carlos Villa.

The Soapbox Derby continues this Sunday, April 10 with a new cast of artists. Alum Lisa Rybovich Crallé (M.F.A., ‘11) will coast down the hill at McLaren Park in a soapbox car of her own creation. Be there to cheer her on at 11:00 am.!

This event is free and open to the public — RSVPs encouraged.
