  • Welcome to San Francisco!
    Welcome to San Francisco! I can’t wait to share my city’s history with you. Dive deeper into the history of the Julie: An American Girl books with this tour of San Francisco. Julie Albright grew up in 1970s San Francisco and joins in the city's long history of environmental and human rights activism. She also learns about the importance of culture and diversity with Ivy, her Chinese American friend. Learn more about these topics by exploring San Francisco through Julie's eyes and experiences. The tour should take between two and four hours, depending on how long you spend at each stop. Three of the stops include visits to a museum and the Hetch Hetchy stop requires an alternate location. #JulieSFTour History Pin: http://bit.ly/juliesftour Google Maps Route: https://goo.gl/maps/JPw9soUj3x41UaPR9 STOP 1: Establishing A Home Away From Home Dragon’s Gate, Bush St & Grant Ave Julie's best friend Ivy is Chinese-American and shares with Julie her Chinese heritage. San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in the United States and is home to one of the largest Chinese populations outside of Asia. Chinese immigrants first arrived in San Francisco in 1848 in pursuit of gold and work during California's Gold Rush. Although few people found gold, a Chinese community formed around Portsmouth Square as a home away from home for Chinese immigrants and as an escape from discrimination. Chinese immigrants established churches, schools, and businesses, and Chinatown acted as a city within a city. Despite facing discrimination and anti-Chinese laws, Chinatown and its residents persevered and fought to maintain their community and culture in San Francisco.

  • High Museum of Art Celebrates Maira Kalman's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HIGH MUSEUM OF ART CELEBRATES MAIRA KALMAN’S CHILDREN’S BOOK ART WITH SUMMER RETROSPECTIVE Exhibition is fourth in a series organized in collaboration with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and presented in conjunction with a world premiere play based on the artist’s work by the Alliance Theatre ATLANTA, June 20, 2019 – This summer, the High Museum of Art premieres “The Pursuit of Everything: Maira Kalman’s Books for Children” (June 22 – Sept. 15, 2019), a colorful exhibition exploring the extensive catalog of Kalman’s imaginative stories and illustrations, which have delighted readers of all ages for more than 30 years. Perhaps best known for her quirky New Yorker magazine covers and brilliant pictorial essays, Kalman (American, born 1949) has published more than a dozen books for adults and 18 acclaimed children’s books, beginning with the game-changing picture book “Stay Up Late” (1985), which gave visual form to the famous Talking Heads song from the album “Little Creatures.” Since then her works have followed the comic adventures of beloved characters, including a poet dog named Max Stravinsky and Pete the dog, and have addressed important historical people and events with books including “Looking at Lincoln” (2012) and the 9/11- inspired “Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey” (2002). The exhibition provides an immersive panorama of Kalman’s picture-book career and features more than 100 works including original drawings and paintings from Kalman’s award-winning titles. Those books include “Smartypants” (2003), about gluttonous canine Pete’s classroom antics, and “Next Stop Grand Central” (2001) as well as newer publications, among them “Bold & Brave: Ten Heroes Who Won Women the Right to Vote” (2018), authored by U.S.

  • California Modernism After World War Ii
    1 CALIFORNIA MODERNISM AFTER WORLD WAR II So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars’ll be out, and don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear? The evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty. JACK KEROUAC, ON THE ROAD POSTWAR EXCHANGES Most historical accounts of cultural and artistic developments in the United States after World War II have offered little information about trends affecting artists across the country. In the rush to figure out who did what first and to locate it geographically—usu - ally in New York— the historians have ignored the fluid interchanges between the two coasts, and cultural opportunities offered on either of them in these postwar years.
