Join us for a special Cake Picnic at the Legion of Honor to celebrate Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art! Inspired by Thiebaud’s iconic cake paintings, this community event invites the San Francisco Bay Area to bring a cake and picnic on the museum’s lawn, creating a living tribute to his love of art and joyful color. We are excited to follow his style and make our cake buffet dreams a reality. Let's eat cake!
