Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) is a multi-disiplinary contemporary arts center in San Francisco, California, United States. Located in Yerba Buena Gardens, YBCA features visual art, performance, and film/video that celebrates local, national, and international artists and the Bay Area’s diverse communities. YBCA programs year-round in two landmark buildings—the Galleries and Forum by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki and Theater by American architect James Stewart Polshek.
The center has been used for the launch of new products by Apple Inc., including the iPhone and the iPad.
Music
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts embraces many musical genres and styles. Not only does their center provide a stage for Bay Area musicians and chorales, but also stimulating musical practices from all over the world. Along with solo performances, YBCA also has invited various musical projects to use its facilities, like the tribute to composer Elliot Carter in 2008 and the Long Now Foundation in 2010. The connection between these various musical practices is the intent for social change through education of another culture or creating a community around a purpose. Although month to month there are not many solely musical performances, music is oftentimes incorporated with other performing arts, like dance or theater.
