SUMMARY:Video Presentation - The Bridges of Southern Monterey County
DESCRIPTION:Members and their friends are invited to a lecture/video presentation at Casa Serrano on Tuesday\, August 15\, starting at 1:30 p.m. The Bridges of Southern Monterey County is the topic; the speakers are John and Karen Jernigan of King City and Howard Strohn of San Ardo. All three are members of the San Antonio Valley Historical Association and specialize in the history of South County\, in particular the Jolon and Lockwood area. \n\n\n\nJohn took an interest in the bridges after the floods on the Salinas River this year. He was able to study historic photos from the Lou G. Hare collection at the Monterey County Historical Society in Salinas. Mr. Hare was a county surveyor around the turn of the century and was involved in the building and photographing of bridges around the county. The bridges were integral to the social and commercial fabric of the small communities along the river. The slide show will feature bridges starting at the Pacific Ocean and moving south in the upstream direction of the Salinas River. Karen Jernigan is a former news reporter for the King City Rustler. \n\n\n\nHoward Strohn currently lives in San Ardo. He served several years as president of the Big Sur Historical Society and 14 years as president of Historic Mission San Antonio. \n\n\n\nHoward recently worked with the Jernigans to write the “King City\, Images of America” book that was published last year by Arcadia Publishing. Copies of the book will be available for sale at this event. \n\n\n\nReservations are required.RSVP by calling 831-647-8621.Cost is $10 for non-members at the door.Free for MHAA members

This not-to-be missed very special community event celebrates the founding of the City of Monterey in June 1770 when Father Junipero Serra (recently canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis) and Captain Gaspar de Portola celebrated with a picnic overlooking the Monterey Bay. \nLa Merienda\, Monterey’s annual birthday party\, is a colorful fiesta barbecue of delicious foods\, wine\, beer\, soft drinks\, gallant dons and donas\, lovely senoritas\, lively music and festive dance. La Merienda (the Spanish term for afternoon picnic or mid-day meal) re-enacts an elegant 18th century fiesta. It celebrates the founding of the town of Monterey on June 3\, 1770 when Padre Junípero Serra\, father of the California missions (now Saint Serra)\, and Captain Gaspar de Portola\, a Spanish military leader\, joined forces to establish the pueblo of Monterey\, California’s first Capital. Their meeting also honored the founding of the “Royal Presidio Chapel”\, which today is known as San Carlos Cathedral. \nAfter the ceremonies that day\, everyone sat down for a picnic under a large oak tree near their ship\, the San Antonio\, which rested in the harbor. The first modern Merienda was celebrated in 1929\, two years before the formation of the Monterey History & Art Association. A ceremony at Colton Hall and a small luncheon at the Memory Garden marked the occasion. It was presided over by Carmel Martin and Harry Greene. The next year\, 350 people joined Carmel Martin\, who again acted as Master of Ceremonies\, in the Memory Garden and once again celebrated Monterey’s birthday. The Monterey History & Art Association has celebrated this important early California historic event every year since the Association was established in 1931 (except one year during World War II). \nThe large rose-adorned birthday cake is carried in by local young men (“cake-bearers”)\, and is sliced with the sword of Colonel Roger S. Fitch\, the first President of the Monterey History & Art Association.

SUMMARY:Monterey Cherry Blossom Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live Taiko Drumming Performance in celebration of the Cherry Blossom Festival! \n\n\n\nMonterey History and Art at Stanton Center presents an exclusive Taiko Drumming performance by the Shinsho Mugen Daiko group as we celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival! Performances are Friday and Saturday 14-15 April 2023 at 7:00pm. \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE for tickets to the FRIDAY 4/14 performance. \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE for tickets to the SATURDAY 4/15 performance. \n\n\n\nThe Japanese word “Taiko” means “big drum.” It refers to drums of a simple and elegant design that has remained unchanged throughout the ages. Taiko has evolved into a performing art full of energy\, harmony\, and movement reminiscent of the martial arts. The music remains rooted in traditional Japanese songs and rhythms and simultaneously reaches out to include musical elements from around the world. As powerful and beautiful as Taiko music is\, the visual aspect dominates. Taiko is a synthesis of movement\, sound\, and spirit. \n\n\n\nCherry blossoms are linked to the coming of spring and are representative of renewal. In Japan\, the Cherry blossom is also a symbol of beauty and is classed as the unofficial national flower. \n\n\n\nCherry blossoms are beloved for their beautiful but short-lived blooms. This creates a poignant reflection on mortality and the temporary nature of life. In Japan\, the cherry blossom symbolizes a Shinto concept known as ‘mono no aware‘ – the beauty of impermanence.

SUMMARY:Winter Lecture Series featuring Peter Hiller
DESCRIPTION:MHAA & Old Monterey Foundation proudly presents the first installment of their 2023 lecture series featuring the distinguished Peter Hiller\, author\, historian\, and Jo Mora Collection Curator for the Monterey History and Art Association\, as he discusses the life and legacy of artist Jo Mora and Mora’s contributions to the Monterey Bay community. \nThe creative career of Joseph Jacinto “Jo” Mora (1876-1947) was both compelling and diverse: he was a painter\, muralist\, sculptor\, building designer\, cartographer\, actor\, set designer\, cowboy\, and husband and father. \nMora’s artwork sprang from his interests in numerous subjects including Native Americans and cowboys\, the American landscape\, California history and its missions\, the classics of Chaucer\, and Mora’s love of animals. All of these subjects\, including the Christmas holiday\, found expression in his work and his lasting creative efforts can be seen throughout California and the West. \nGeneral admission seating is free and space is limited\, but registration is required. Click here to reserve your seats today! \nDoors to the theatre open at 5:45pm and the lecture begins promptly at 6 pm. For more information\, call Monterey History and Art at Stanton Center at 831-649-9161.

This not-to-be missed very special community event celebrates the founding of the City of Monterey in June 1770 when Father Junipero Serra (recently canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis) and Captain Gaspar de Portola celebrated with a picnic overlooking the Monterey Bay. \nLa Merienda\, Monterey’s annual birthday party\, is a colorful fiesta barbecue of delicious foods\, wine\, beer\, soft drinks\, gallant dons and donas\, lovely senoritas\, lively music and festive dance. La Merienda (the Spanish term for afternoon picnic or mid-day meal) re-enacts an elegant 18th century fiesta. It celebrates the founding of the town of Monterey on June 3\, 1770 when Padre Junípero Serra\, father of the California missions (now Saint Serra)\, and Captain Gaspar de Portola\, a Spanish military leader\, joined forces to establish the pueblo of Monterey\, California’s first Capital. Their meeting also honored the founding of the “Royal Presidio Chapel”\, which today is known as San Carlos Cathedral. \nAfter the ceremonies that day\, everyone sat down for a picnic under a large oak tree near their ship\, the San Antonio\, which rested in the harbor. The first modern Merienda was celebrated in 1929\, two years before the formation of the Monterey History & Art Association. A ceremony at Colton Hall and a small luncheon at the Memory Garden marked the occasion. It was presided over by Carmel Martin and Harry Greene. The next year\, 350 people joined Carmel Martin\, who again acted as Master of Ceremonies\, in the Memory Garden and once again celebrated Monterey’s birthday. The Monterey History & Art Association has celebrated this important early California historic event every year since the Association was established in 1931 (except one year during World War II). \nThe large rose-adorned birthday cake is carried in by local young men (“cake-bearers”)\, and is sliced with the sword of Colonel Roger S. Fitch\, the first President of the Monterey History & Art Association.
