Winter Event

Treat Yourself after the Holidays
Tea at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens &
“Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley 1945-1985”
A Presentation of the Pacific Standard Time Festival

The camellias are blooming, and we return to the Huntington, one of our favorite venues in the Pasadena area, for their superb tea and a short walk across the grounds to the Boone Gallery.
There we will explore “The House That Sam Built: Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley, 1945–1985”, a groundbreaking exhibition of the furniture of mid-century craftsman Sam Maloof (1916–2009) and the art made by 35 members of his circle of friends.
Maloof’s work has been given to American presidents, collected by celebrities, and admired by art connoisseurs far and wide. It also has been the subject of major exhibitions across the country, but this will be the first to closely examine Maloof's contribution to the development of art in Southern California.

11:30 - Lunch at the Bergamot Café
1:00 - Exhibit Welcome and Tour - Beatrice Wood
2:00 - Optional special presentation - Visual Thinking Strategies

Beatrice Wood was a seminal artist who lived and worked on both the East and West coasts and bridged gaps between areas as disparate as New York Dada and Southern California ceramics. She lived and worked in Ojai until the age of 105!
This exhibit features more than 100 artworks from her early immersion in the Dada movement through her mature work as a ceramic artist.
Wood (1893–1998) was a vital contributor to the art scene of the period and is thus a key player in the Pacific Standard Time project.
The exhibit includes a short documentary featuring interviews with Wood in her Oaji studio.

SPECIAL OPTION AT 2:00PM : There will be an additional scheduled presentation by esteemed arts educator Philip Yenawine, co-founder of VUE (Visual Understanding in Education, www.vue.org) and former director of education at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He will be applying his nationally recognized technique for looking and discussing art called Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS).
All members of our tour are invited by SMMoA to stay for this special event.

A 7.3 mile hike from the Pacific Palisades to a popular overlook in Topanga State Park.

The first part of this hike – the Los Liones Trail – is one of the most lush riparian canyons in the Santa Monica Mountains. It’s gently graded, moderately shady, and definitely worth a look even if you have to fight crowds. Afterward, the trail meets up with the system of fire roads in Topanga State Park, and makes a relentless ascent to Parker Mesa (1525ft).

On a clear day, you’ll get amazing views of the Santa Monica Bay, and often inland as far as the San Bernardino Mountains.

Distance: 7.3 miles.
Elevation Gain: 1292 feet.
Duration: 3.5 hours
Trail Condition: Excellent.

All trails are clearly marked, and most have distance markers at major junctions. The Los Liones Trail is one of the most beautiful single-track trails seen in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Against the backdrop of the fantastic story is the legendary musical score including “Master Of The House,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,” “I Dreamed A Dream,” “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables,” and many more. The legendary music and depth of the story and its commentary about society in general will leave you standing and applauding for more.

We will meet at 4:30 p.m. at Pinot Grill on the Plaza immediately adjacent to the Ahmanson Theater. There, we will enjoy a delicious catered reception as we mingle, catch up with old friends, make new friends, and of course talk excitedly about the show before the 6:30 p.m. production.
