SAN FRANCISCO

Muir Woods is extraordinary, but the coastal redwoods are even more gargantuan and ancient in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, about 60 miles south of San Francisco.

The trees there can be up to 2,000 years old and 300 feet high. The shady park is one of my favorite places to escape in the Bay Area year-round. I’ve hiked the popular Berry Creek Falls loop at least three times. The trail winds up and down through about 10 miles of lush old-growth redwood forest, making for a challenging day hike. But this state park (California’s oldest) is worth a visit even if you’re not up for a major physical feat. The fl at and easy half-mile Redwood Trail path by the parking lot contains some its most impressive specimens.

Francisco is City Lights over in North Beach, but I love Bird & Beckett in the Glen Park neighborhood. Not only is this a great bookstore, but also it regularly features live local jazz acts.

Q: What’s your favorite public art installation?

A: My favorite public art installation is the Moonrise sculptures located at 555 Mission St. These are three large heads made of a textured aluminium. The heads are named March, October and December.

Q: What’s your top tip for travelers to San Francisco?

Q: What art museum or gallery do you recommend first?

A: I recommend the Legion of Honor Museum. Not only is the building itself very striking, but also the art collections are among finest in the country.

Q: What are a couple of great independent bookstores visitors should check out?

A: One of the most well known independent bookstores in San

A: Do a little bit of exploring on foot with one of the various walking tours that operate in the city. San Francisco City Guides offers a number of walking tours of our various neighborhoods that are fun, informative and above all else, free.

Q: Favorite books set in San Francisco?

A: Dashiell Hammett's tale about a hard-boiled detective, "The Maltese Falcon," is a must for any mystery lover. For something more contemporary, "Alive in Necropolis" by Doug Dorst is the story of a police officer in the "cemetery city" of nearby Colma. It's a funny tale of mystery with cameos from famous Colma inhabitants, such as Lillie Hitchcock Coit (who left the money in her will to San Francisco for the construction of Coit Tower) and Wyatt Earp.

LITQUAKE LOWDOWN The story behind the Bay Area’s top literary festival WHAT STARTED OUT as a day of readings in Golden Gate Park has evolved into the largest independent literary festival on the West Coast and spread to eight cities over the past 18 years. A celebration of San Francisco’s rich community of writers and readers, the beloved Litquake (Oct. 6-14) event serves as a forum for local talent and draws national and international authors, including Nobel and Pulitzer winners, to a lineup of mostly free events at an eclectic mix of venues all over town. Participants have included Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dave Eggers and Patti Smith, and 2017 brings Marc Maron (of the Netflix series "GLOW"), Chris Kraus and Amber Tamblyn. Highlights on the lineup include a Tribute to Pablo Neruda with the bookstore City Lights and a staged reading of Joan Didion’s “Slouching Towards Bethle18

MAJOR MUSEUMS AND UNION SQUARE GALLERIES are only one of many exciting ways to experience art in San Francisco. In the past year, several major new spaces have completed renovations or opened for the first time, offering ever more opportunities to explore the Bay Area’s rich history through the arts, in both visual multimedia exhibits and music. From ambitious city galleries to rehabbed barracks on the bluffs in Marin, there are new San Francisco spaces and centers to suit just about any art-lover’s tastes.

HEAD TO THE HEADLANDS

FOR STUDENTS, AND FOR ALL

Part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area since its founding in 1982, the Headlands Center for the Arts has been an inspiring destination in the windswept coastal wilderness across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco for 35 years. Last month, the new artistled renovation project was unveiled at the historic nine-building campus, which supports multidisciplinary arts programming and offers a popular in-residence program to artists of all stripes, from writers to photographers.

A dozen alumni from the program have received MacArthur “Genius” Fellowships, and many more have accepted some of the highest honors in their various disciplines. Check the calendar for artist talks, panel discussions and hands-on opportunities to make art with some of the area’s masters.

Fort Mason continues to evolve as an arts destination with the opening of the new $50 million San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) campus. Housed on a 67,000-square foot renovated pier, the massive studio and exhibition space juts into the San Francisco Bay, offering panoramic views of the water from what was once a World War II Pacific theater embarkation point. With this exciting expansion, SFAI has created 160 art studios for students, and for the public, several new free-of-charge exhibition spaces. One eye-catching attraction: the Mural Wall, which will feature rotating artist commissions. The inaugural mural by alumna and SFAI faculty member Alicia McCarthy will stay on display through 2019.

Mason Center for Arts and Culture has drawn art aficionados to the north side of the city with its major artist retrospectives and small galleries dotted all over the 13-acre former U.S. Army post.

One exciting new exhibition, "Sanctuary," opens Oct. 7 and presents prayer rugs made by 36 artists from more than 20 countries, all riffing on the physical and psychological notions of sanctuary—and located, appropriately, in the Fort Mason Chapel. When heading to Fort Mason, make sure to check the schedules at the exciting arts venues in the area, including the Magic Theatre playhouse, a Bay Area institution celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

And every Friday night through Oct. 20, check out the nation’s largest food truck extravaganza at Off the Grid, where the piping hot fusion cuisine and cold brews on tap pair perfectly with the city’s late summer fog and free music performances offered most Friday evenings.

THE POSTER CHILD FOR A NEW ART CENTER At the new two-story, 12,000 square foot Haight Street Art Center, poster art production, history and education are the full-color focus. A giant bronze rabbit marks the entrance to this Lower Haight neighborhood gallery, which functions as a sort of living history center, complete with scanners and printers in a print shop that can be accessed by anyone, famous artist or curious visitor off the street. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, the center’s inaugural exhibition, "The Art of Consciousness," features nearly 100 psychedelic posters from the late 1960s creativity explosion that rocked San Francisco. The permanent collection continues to offer plenty of eye candy.

Before visiting, be sure to check out the center’s class calendar, which offers opportunities for visitors to test their own far out silk screen-printing techniques.

DESTINATION: DOGPATCH Since opening its doors last year, the range of galleries in the three warehouses that comprise the Minnesota Street Project have attracted excited guests and drawn rave reviews. With the recent announcement that Chronicle Books executive and SFMOMA trustee Nion McEvoy will display his personal collection of photographs and other artworks in one of the galleries, there is ever more reason to make a detour

to the Dogpatch. On view through Oct. 28, the group exhibition "Soil Erosion" offers visitors an array of works by more than 20 contemporary artists exploring themes of erosion in land, liberty, culture and loss of desire. With the recent opening of famed Bay Area chef Daniel Patterson’s latest Alta location in the Minnesota Street Project, the spacious galleries and adjacent local businesses have become a destination for a night out or a leisurely weekend afternoon adventure.
