Object Stories: San Francisco
Thursday, November 12, 2026 | 7–9 p.m.
An evening of live storytelling that celebrates the connections between people and the handmade objects that shape their lives.
The American Craft Council’s popular event series, Object Stories, is coming to San Francisco, co-presented by ACC and KQED.
Hosted in the KQED Commons, Object Stories: San Francisco will feature a diverse group of Bay Area artists, makers, and community voices. Each speaker will share a handmade object that holds personal significance and tell the story behind it, revealing how craft intersects with memory, identity, creativity, and belonging.
Object Stories is a signature storytelling series produced by the American Craft Council, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to building a world where objects matter, makers thrive, and craft connects. Each event brings together artists, writers, and cultural leaders to explore the meaning and impact of craft through personal stories inspired by objects they cherish.
