Earlier this month: a very special on stage salon with Leïla Slimani, author of I’ll Take the Fire, and @nadja_nadja. What an honor it is to host these intimate experiences – the same CA&L format but with both guests and audience together onstage!

What is a City Arts Salon? Simply, an intimate literary experience. The Sydney Goldstein Theater is our treasured home, and we love looking out on hundreds of beaming fans, but sometimes, we like to have events that are a little more cozy. At City Arts Salons, we invite the audience on to the stage to get a more personal experience of our favorite authors. The salons bring a small audience through our backstage to listen to and meet with our literary guests while looking out on our beautifully restored theater.

We’ll be hosting more salons in 2027. These programs sell out quickly, so stay tuned! 🌷🎟️ #CityArtsAndLectures taken in Sydney Goldstein Theater by @cityartssf

This Sunday October 11th @davidbyrneofficial will be here in SF with us!

Join us for an evening with one of today’s most iconic creatives, David Byrne, as he talks about his new book, Sleeping Beauties. It’s an exploration of how groundbreaking ideas in the arts and sciences oftentimes “fall asleep,” and how they are reawakened.

See you soon! 🌷 #CityArtsAndLectures #DavidByrne taken in Sydney Goldstein Theater by @cityartssf
