Bay Area denizens frequently muse (and are sometimes bemused) that Academy of Art University is the real estate magnate of San Francisco. Regardless of where you stand—likely with an AAU building in sight—there’s no mistaking that, while the school has many doors around the city, AAU also opens many doors for thousands of artists every year.

This Saturday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., AAU is opening its doors to the public and showcasing the award-winning works of graduates from all 14 of the school’s majors. The school is welcoming current, former, and prospective students; potential employers; and art lovers alike to this free daylong reception.
