    Applause: A history of music and dance in SF

    Once staid and seedy, and scarred by empty lots, this area is now the hub of SF’s performing arts.  In just 4 blocks there are over 15 venues with more than 11,000 seats!  SF is famous for being the birthplace of flower-power rock.  But it is also home to the nation’s oldest professional ballet company, is the setting for world class jazz festivals, and has a venerable opera company and a multi-Grammy winning symphony -- all with homes located here.  Hear SF’s unique history of these performing arts and learn about the mix of classical to contemporary architectural styles showcasing the area’s changes.  No longer staid nor seedy, the SF Performing Arts Hub is where it is happening.

    HERstory: Women Muralists of the Mission

    Murals began appearing in the Mission District in the early 1970s.  It was exclusively men’s work, mainly done by Latinos drawing upon a long tradition of Mexican “muralismo.”  A few women, all Latinas, defying criticism, the occasional catcall, and even their own social mores, courageously said, they too, could climb a scaffold and paint.  And they did, exquisitely and uniquely with a distinctive palette.  Many of the pioneers still paint, while nurturing a new generation of women muralists.  Come walk with us to hear the sensational story of the women muralists of the Mission and see their dazzling work.  You will be awestruck.

    Ferry Building

    For much of the early 20th century, nobody traversed the Bay without going through the Ferry Building. At its peak in the 1930s, it was the second-busiest travel hub in the world, shuttling more than 50,000 people both to and from San Francisco each day.  When the city built its famous bridges, ferry travel dropped dramatically, and the building suffered for decades. In the ‘90s  the Ferry Building transformed into a world-class food market focusing on local artisan creations. Today, it remains an iconic landmark of the waterfront (and a popular establishing shot for movies set in San Francisco).  Join us on a wondrous trip through the centerpiece of the shoreline.
