is a new exhibition at MANRESA GALLERY. Running from April 10 through June 26, this exhibition features contemporary and period photographs documenting the architectural and artistic legacy of pioneering missionaries Father Eusebio Kino and Fray Junípero Serra. Included are photographs by Jeffrey Becom, Edward McCain, Edward Vernon, & 19th–20th Century Sepia Tones from the California Views Archive. These photos evidence the efforts of the many who labored to build and maintain the missions that stretch from the desert sands of Sonora to the charming city of San Francisco. In celebration of the 300th anniversary of Kino’s death and the 300th anniversary in 2013 of Serra’s birth, this exhibition is the first to juxtapose these two transformative careers.
Manresa Gallery is located inside St. Ignatius Church, University of San Francisco, 650 Parker Avenue, San Francisco. Gallery hours are Sundays 2–5pm and by appointment. Please call (415)422-6639 or email info@manresagallery.org for more information.
