The San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) | Fort Mason Campus hosts an inspiring event, “Leonardo‘s 50th Anniversary Celebration: The Convening,” at Fort Mason Center For Arts & Culture. Leonardo is a family of science, technology, and art publications and programs operated by ISAST (The International Society For The Arts, Sciences, and Technology). “The Convening” is the culminating event in Leonardo‘s year-long, international recognition of its 50th anniversary with dozens of global observances.

Through “The Convening,” Leonardo hopes to bring together attendees from multiple, diverse disciplines and experiences to participate in a challenging, vital network with artistic, scientific, and technological elements. “The Convening” schedule includes action clusters, trans-disciplinary experiences, peripatetic conversations by The Exploratorium, an international women’s panel, and vision planning with presentations from the National Academy of Sciences and Arizona State University.
