Gov. Newsom Slashes $11.5 Million for Performing Arts Fund, Devastating Bay Area Organizations

Newsom’s revision isn’t final, though; the legislature makes its own amendments before passing a budget on June 15. In the meantime, SFBATCO and other performing arts companies are urging their followers to write their representatives, the state budget committee and the governor’s office, with Dance Mission inviting allies to a letter-writing and phone-banking potluck at its Mission District facility at 3316 24th St. starting at noon on Saturday, May 17.

Arthur Drooker’s 36 Views of the Golden Gate Bridge! ArtWalk is Tuesday, June 3rd from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the MV Chamber, 85 Throckmorton Ave.

After photographing the Golden Gate Bridge intensively for two years, I indeed came to see it anew. What I found most impressive, even more than the span’s status as an engineering and architectural icon, is its power as a symbol of possibility. When it was first proposed, naysayers declared there was no way to build what was then the tallest and longest suspension bridge in the world over such a treacherous strait. Undaunted, Joseph Strauss, the Golden Gate’s visionary chief engineer, replied, ā€œOur worldĀ  today Ā revolves completely around things which at one time couldn’t be done because they were supposedly beyond the limits of human endeavor. Don’t be afraid to dream.ā€ I dedicateĀ Thirty-Six Views of the Golden Gate BridgeĀ to this spirit of possibility.
