La Jolla Surf: Art, Culture, Craft
The exhibition La Jolla Surf: Art, Culture, Craft invites viewers into the world of surfing through iconic photography by Roy Porello, Jeff Divine, and Ron Church, original artwork by award winning designer John van Hamersveld, and surf boards from the greatest shapers in the region. A central focus of the exhibition is original interview footage with local surfers created by Curator John Durant. Visitors will hear firsthand accounts of how the surfing community developed, how it has evolved over time, and the powerful connection to, and appreciation of the ocean and nature that surfing engenders.
Funding for this project is generously supported by Richard VandeNoord, Matt and Nancy Browar, Suzanne Conlon, Abby and Ray Weiss, and Seonaid and Barry Bielinski.
