Humanities West presents a wide-ranging series of lectures and
performances encompassing the fine arts, social history, music,
politics, and philosophy of the arts. Since 1983 these interdisciplinary
programs have been designed to entertain and educate diverse
audiences in an effort to illuminate and elevate the human spirit
through exploration of the many sources of modern culture.
Each season Humanities West presents a number of programs in
which leading scholars and artists present lectures, performances,
readings and discussions to audiences in San Francisco's Herbst
Theatre. These one- or two-day events represent an opportunity
unique not only to the Bay Area, but also to the entire United
States. In cooperation with other institutions such as the World
Affairs Council, the San Francisco Public Library and the Mechanic's
Institute Library, additional public lectures and panels are
presented to further expand upon program topics.
Humanities West is an independent non-profit organization. We
rely on individual contributions and foundation and corporate
financial support.
