One year ago we were in the process of finalizing our ambitious five-year strategic plan. With the first phase, the Re:Imagine! Plan, halfway complete, we have made great progress towards our goals of improving the visitor experience and expanding our exhibitions, programs, and outreach to the community. During your visits to our galleries over the past few months, you undoubtedly have noticed a number of improvements. New exterior signage and landscaping works to unite our two buildings. The wood floors in the historic Santa Rosa Post Office building have been beautifully refinished and all the gallery spaces are freshly painted. We also purchased custom moveable walls for the historic Post Office that allow us to transform the main gallery space for each exhibition. In addition to these improvements, we are pleased that attendance has steadily increased, public programs are well-attended, and participation in our school tour program continues to be strong. As the Museum continues to grow, we are working to increase our capacity. With this in mind, we are pleased to welcome several new staff members to our team. Elizabeth Smith is our new Finance and HR Manager, and Laura Leipzig is our new Education and Volunteer Coordinator. Kathleen Ferrington, Jenny Bath, and Ashley Alvarez, who is fluent in Spanish, are the newest members of our Visitor Services team. With longer days and warmer evenings, this is a great season to enjoy the Museum of Sonoma County. We invite you to explore regional history in our historic Santa Rosa Post Office, relish the tranquility of our sculpture garden, and contemplate thought-provoking art in our contemporary gallery, all in one visit. We hope to see you at the Museum soon! Best regards,
RICHARD TEMPERO

GRASS ROOTS Cannabis from Prohibition to Prescription
Is it the devil’s weed, a remarkable remedy, or just something to be enjoyed with friends like a glass of wine? Cannabis use generates strong, often divided opinions, but its story is undeniably significant.

“We’ve been considering this exhibition for about eight years,” said co-curator, Eric Stanley. “Before and after the legalization of medicinal marijuana in 1996, Sonoma County has played a significant role with dispensaries, medical marijuana advocates, activists, and others in a rapidly evolving environment. This exhibition was conceived to capture the story of what lies behind or beneath these rapid changes, which were decades in the making. No matter where you

stand on cannabis, it’s important to know the evolution of this issue.” Though it has been part of human history for thousands of years, cannabis has recently become part of our society in new ways. For over a century, cannabis was prohibited and kept in the shadows, but that changed to a large degree in 1996 with a groundbreaking California law that made the use of medicinal cannabis legal. The move from prohibition to prescription did not happen

overnight. It was the culmination of decades of grassroots activism that began in the 1960s, when cannabis first emerged as a defining element in the culture war. With its legacies of agriculture and back-to-the land, as well as its position between the Emerald Triangle and San Francisco, Sonoma County has played a significant role in the story of cannabis, its emergence as legal medicine, and, more recently, as a multi-billion dollar industry. “Time passed, things evolved, and now the time is right to share this history with our Sonoma community and the greater Bay Area,” said co-curator Brian Applegarth.

“Sonoma is defined by its close relationship with nature, agricultural roots, and experimental communities. Cannabis as a symbol and a plant has shaped our northern California culture and this exhibition provides context around its journey and influence.” “We’re not advocating a side or taking a position in this exhibition,” said Stanley, “but trying to tell a story that is worth telling and that is relevant now. What we are saying is that this is an important issue, one that we need to understand and discuss. The Museum is a great forum - a place to take the long-view and talk about our history and culture.”

The Museum of Sonoma County is pleased to present, Kinetics: Art in Motion, featuring works by fourteen contemporary California artists, whose works reflect a variety of styles and modes of movement. “Kinetics: Art in Motion is an opportunity for the Museum of Sonoma County to spotlight a specific art historical movement and to connect its relevance to today’s artists,” said co-curators, Satri Pencak and Debra Lehane. Although the Kinetic Art Movement identifies art created between 1920-1970, earliest evidence of humanity’s effort s to create movement in art date back to prehistoric cave paintings, where artists used visual techniques to depict movement. In the modern era, kinetics’ roots go back to 19th century Impressionist painters such a Monet, Degas, and Manet, who experimented with accentuating the movement of the human figure on canvas. Decades later, Dada, Constructivist, and Bauhaus Movements became historical precedents to Kinetic Art, which was formally established as an artistic movement in 1955 with the exhibition Le Mouvement at the Galerie Denise René in Paris. Although the Movement may have a defined time period, kinetic art has continued to thrive into the 21st century. The works presented in this exhibition explore motion through natural sources, such as air currents, gravity, and light, and through interventions such as mechanical motors, electrical power, and human contact. Outside the gallery, wind and solar-powered works are installed, enlivening the space that is visible to the public from Seventh Street.

“Kinetics: Art in Motion is an engaging, educational, interactive exhibition for the whole family,” Pencak and Lehane continued. “By observing and interacting with the pieces, visitors can learn how art and technology connect, how engineering is applied, and how natural forces can
animate a work of art.” The co-curators also hope visitors leave the exhibition with an understanding of the historical heritage that continues to influence artists and the making of kinetic art today.

Tierra de Rosas is a solo exhibition featuring the work of Maria de los Angeles, a Mexican-born artist and immigration activist. After crossing the border with her family in 1999, they settled in Santa Rosa. She attended Santa Rosa Junior College before completing her BFA at Pratt Institute and her MFA at Yale University.
Maria de los Angeles currently lives in New York City and is a rising star in the art world. She is a multidisciplinary artist and employs drawing, painting, and fashion design in her dynamic and vibrant installations. Her work addresses migration, displacement, and identity. We are excited to welcome her back to Santa Rosa for this major exhibition.

ART4KIDS
A Rewarding School Year of Discovering Art
BY CYNTHIA LEUNG
Director of Public Programs and Tours
Sixth graders from Luther Burbank Elementary were outside the Museum with their teacher, Ross Hause, and Art4Kids artist-teacher, Martín Zúñiga. The students’ colorful artwork was laid out to dry. “Why do you do art?” Mr. Hause asked. “Art helps me relax.” “Art gives a different perspective [of] the person and who they are.” Perspective, what a million-dollar word for a sixth grader! At Luther Burbank Elementary, like most of the schools we work with in our Art4Kids program, 90% of the students are Hispanic, and 90% of the students are low-income. The program introduces fifth and sixth grade students, many of whom have never visited a museum before, to art and the Museum of Sonoma County. The students are bused to the Museum for a docent-led tour and an art lesson based on the current exhibition. Their experience doesn’t end at the Museum - artists lead three additional in-classroom art lessons, inspired by the art exhibited at the
10
Museum and aligned with California Standards for Visual Arts. Art4Kids is generously supported by Community Foundation Sonoma County. Next school year, we will be able to expand the program thanks to additional support from the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation. This spring, the art lessons were inspired by the exhibition See Something, Say Something, featuring the works of David Huffman, Evri Kwong, and Linda Vallejo. Many students gravitated towards Linda Vallejo’s “Make ‘Em All Mexican” series. One student commented, “[Linda Vallejo] was my favorite artist because she had an idea for changing famous white people into Mexican, brown-colored people. I really liked this because her art spoke to the Mexican people [about] what she believed.” Another student observed, “[The artists in the exhibit] represent a meaning, ‘Speak out, stop the racism, and be creative!’” The Museum of Sonoma County is privileged to be able to provide part of the visual arts education for these students.

VOL UNTEER S
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM BY LAURA LEIPZIG
Education and Volunteer Coordinator
We began 2019 with a spring filled with events and our volunteers are busy! Volunteers at the Museum of Sonoma County serve as docents and gallery attendants, assist teachers in our Art4Kids program, and provide support at receptions, fundraisers, and our many educational programs throughout the year. I joined the Museum of Sonoma County at the end of February and I have loved getting to know the dedicated group of volunteers who contribute their time to make this
museum what it is. I look forward to growing and developing our volunteer program further so that it continues to support the interests of our volunteers as well as our ambitious schedule of exhibitions and programs. As a part of further developing our volunteer program, we are in the process of creating a more comprehensive and immersive internship program. This program will be specifically for students looking to gain hands-on experience while earning college credit.
On April 13th, we held a Volunteer Appreciation Spring Soirée to treat our volunteers to an elegant evening to socialize and enjoy being the guests of honor. Over the course of the year, our volunteers will have the opportunity to attend unique outings to other museums and participate in fun activities. It is my genuine hope that all MSC volunteers find volunteering to be a positive and rewarding experience, both through the work that they do and the relationships they build.

NEW ACQUISITIONS SPOTLIGHT The Museum preserves and manages an art and history collection of over 18,000 objects, the region’s largest object documentation of Sonoma County’s historical and cultural realm.
LINDA VALLEJO, JUAN EL ABEJA The Museum has acquired Juan El Abeja from Linda Vallejo’s Make ‘Em All Mexican - MEAM series, recently on view in the exhibition See Something, Say Something. The series confronts issues of race and culture while “coaxing the viewer into a comfortable space where there is humor and laughter [and the] stories surface about the divisions caused by our differences and the possibility of unity through our similarities,” Vallejo states. Juan El Abeja is a repurposed plastic figurine of John Belushi’s character from The Killer Bees sketches on Saturday Night Live.
MODEL ROCKING CHAIR FROM PEDERSEN’S The Pedersen family recently gave the Museum photographs, objects, and artifacts related to Pedersen’s Furniture Company. Pedersen’s Furniture opened in Santa Rosa in 1892. Over the decades, Pedersen’s sold furniture, undertaker supplies, appliances, and, in recent years, premium American-made furnishings. Pedersen’s was owned and operated by four generations of family members and closed in March 2019 after 127 years of business. This model rocking chair was made by Obert Pedersen in 1977. Obert Pedersen and his brother, Fred Sr., took over the company from their father, J.C. Pedersen, in 1918. Obert was also the mayor of Santa Rosa from 1944 to 1948.
