Irving Gill’s Architecture in Bankers Hill
Local historians Sarai & Paul Johnson will offer insights into the genius of Irving Gill through his creative processes, including recently discovered and previously unknown c.1908 glass-plate photographs of his buildings and interiors. The Marston House, located on Seventh Avenue at the north end of Balboa Park is itself a crucial part of an exhibition featuring Gill.
Get a glimpse of the exhibition and the interior architecture, illuminating art photography, photo postcards, and rare Gill-designed redwood furniture on display at the exhibition
Do you have memories of Starlight Bowl?
Meet Steve Stopper, a driving force behind Save Starlight’s initiative. This group of activists and volunteers are working to restore, revive and revitalize Starlight Bowl—an open-air amphitheater in the heart of San Diego’s Balboa Park. The Bowl has been closed since 2012, and has fallen into disrepair.
They envision a venue for open-air performances, concerts, cinema, festivals, plays, community events, and musical theater.
Be one of the first to hear their story.
