About the René Yañez Legacy Fund
SOMArts has been the central hub for San Francisco’s most radical and socially-conscious art and has been greatly shaped by the beloved late curator, artist, and mentor René Yañez. Launched in 2022, the René Yañez Legacy Fund support two of his passions: nurturing emerging artists and mid-career artists, and caring for SOMArts’ garden he started.
As the Bay Area is home to a diverse ecosystem of artists, the RYLF seeks to create a sustainable grassroots fund for their dreams to thrive.
