Join UCSF’s Edward and Pearl Fein Memory and Aging Center for the opening reception of Carissa Potter: You Don't Have to Show Up. This exhibition showcases the work of Carissa Potter—an artist, illustrator, and author—whose creations delve into the complexities of human connection, intimacy, and grief.
