This will be a special talk by esteemed SFAI archivist Jeff Gunderson who will discuss the historic relationships between SFAI and Sonoma County.
From Virgil Williams’ 19th-century landscapes to the bohemian outposts of Bolinas, Inverness, and beyond, this talk delves into the rich artistic history of Northern California. Discover how SFAI artists and faculty—including Richard Diebenkorn, William T. Wiley, Ruth-Marion Baruch, and Bernice Bing—found sanctuary, inspiration, and community across the region’s rugged coastlines and rolling hills.
Gunderson will also discuss Christo’s Running Fence, the “Sonoma Four” plein air painters, and the enduring creative ties stretching from Russian Hill to the Russian River.
This program is free for MSC Members and SFAI Alumni.
