The San Francisco War Memorial – Austrian National Day Reception - A Solo Art Showcase

Hosted in the historic Green Room of the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center, the Austrian National Day Reception was a distinguished celebration of Austrian heritage, organized by the Austrian Consulate General San Francisco and Open Austria. This year’s event featured a special solo art showcase, an honor I was proud to receive as the only exhibiting artist. Surrounded by diplomats, cultural leaders, and members of the Austrian-American community, my paintings offered a personal lens into the intersection of tradition and modern expression. It was an unforgettable evening of connection, creativity, and pride, highlighting the power of art to bridge cultures and spark dialogue in the heart of San Francisco.
