Lady Harriet Sebastian: The Bridgemen

On view 4/3/25 - 5/31/25

Exhibition opening & celebration of life

Thursday April 3, 2025 | 5-7pm

At the Tenderloin Museum | 398 Eddy St. SF, CA 94102

Free to attend, all welcome, no registration required.

TLM celebrates the life and legacy of Lady Harriet Sebastian–a prolific artist, natural performer, and generous educator who lived in the Tenderloin for 25 years–with an exhibition that takes a focused look at her magnum opus. “The Bridgemen” depicts a vision of civic greatness that centers makers, witnesses their fortitude, and honors their sacrifices. The painting is an epic homage to the city Sebastian loved the most, imbued with heart, soul, and worldly wisdom accumulated over her adventurous, freewheeling life. When Sebastian passed away in 2022 at the age of 90, she hoped “The Bridgemen” would find a permanent home in San Francisco; TLM is honored to host this monumental work for the public to see in Sebastian’s own neighborhood.
