Join us for an enriching celebration of music, art, and remembrance with three distinct yet interwoven events. First, immerse yourself in the **"Front Row Center: Icons of Rock, Blues, and Soul"** exhibition, featuring over 70 captivating photographs by Larry Hulst that chart his journey through live music from 1970-1999. This collection showcases legendary artists such as Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and Lauryn Hill, granting viewers an all-access pass to some of the most memorable performances in rock, blues, and soul history.
Simultaneously, experience **"The Prison Concerts: Folsom and San Quentin"** exhibition, organized by the GRAMMY Museum, which highlights the artistry of Johnny Cash through 25 powerful photographs taken by Jim Marshall during Cash's historic prison concerts in 1968 and 1969. This collection not only illustrates Cash’s music but also his advocacy for prisoners’ rights.
Additionally, from May 24-26, participate in the **"Memorial Day Drop-In Artmaking Class/Workshop,"** where attendees can honor local veterans by creating red poppies to add to a wall of remembrance, alongside their artwork. This event fosters reflection on service and history in collaboration with Veterans Affairs.
Together, these exhibitions and activities create a rich tapestry of artistic expression, community reflection, and tribute, with free admission and no tickets required. Enjoy a unique exploration of music history and artistic creativity as you engage with these evocative experiences.
