Amish Quilt Exhibit at the de Young Museum
deYoung Museum
Amish quilts, anything but humble
Date: Every day

Amish Quilt Exhibit at the de Young Museum exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, California, November 14, 2009 - June 6, 2010. The exhibition features approximately 48 full-size and crib quilts dating from the 1880s to the 1940s. Quilts made by girls and women of various Amish communities in Pennsylvania and the Midwest are visual distillations of their way of life. The Amish faith embodies the principles of simplicity, humility, discipline, and community, but their quilts are anything but humble. Using a rich color palette and bold patterns, these quilts are truly a unique contribution to American textile history. The quilts highlight the beauty and complexity of the abstract patterns. 

 

Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival
Monterey Cowboy Poetry
Don't miss the very special 12th Annual Monterey Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival and Christmas Art & Gear Show
Date: Every day (Dec 10-Dec 12)

12th Annual Monterey Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival and Christmas Art & Gear Show

 

The festival will be held at the Monterey Conference Center located at One Portola Plaza in downtown Monterey, CA. This popular annual event for all ages celebrates Monterey's contribution to our western heritage with cowboy poetry, song and a first class Christmas Western Art and Gear show. The festival brings together people from all over the United States to enjoy and learn more about the "cowboy way of life," including its history, current values and culture.

 

This year's exciting entertainer line-up includes Ian Tyson, Randy Rieman, Dave Stamey, Diane Tribitt, Juni Fisher, Wylie & The Wild West, R.W. Hampton, Joni Harms and many others.

 

The festival has many shows scheduled over the three days plus a Jam Session on Friday night, a Christmas Art & Gear Show, Silent Auction and its special Sunday morning Cowboy Church, which benefits The Salvation Army and features many of the top performers of the weekend.

The Art & Gear Show features over two dozen artisans that offer an array of interesting items for Christmas gifts and collectors, including outstanding Western art, photography and books, clothing, (hats, jewelry, handmade boots, belts, purses, jackets, etc.), custom and antique saddles, Navajo blankets and jackets and much more.

The Monterey Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival also coordinates the popular Cowboys in the Schools Program. During the school year volunteers work with local educators to introduce the concept of Cowboy Culture and the influence of the vaquero to a diverse group of elementary school students. This "Cowboy Way of Life" program helps to teach youth self-esteem, ethics, values, writing, art and history. Young people also participate in the "Open Mic" event during the festival weekend.
