Phone: 415-868-0330
You're invited to Bolinas Museum's Glalery Talk: Learning in the Grove of Akademus with Jeff Gunderson. Longtime San Francisco Art Institute librarian and resident historian, Jeff Gunderson, will discuss the founding of the California School of Fine Art’s groundbreaking photography program in the 1940s and the school’s post-war milieu of avant-garde experimentation. Students in the photography program enjoyed close relationships with their teachers, often staying in their homes and working side-by-side in the field, inspiring student Ira Latour to describe his early days in the program as “learning in the Grove of Akademus.” Gunderson will call on several exhibiting artists, some now in their 90s, to share stories and memories of their time at the CSFA.
This event is FREE to the public.
