Celebrate Black History Month Through the Arts
|
|
In recognition of Black History Month, visit the Great Park Gallery to view 52nd Street: Jazz and the Photography of William Gottlieb.
Manhattan's 52nd Street formed a hub of musical creativity in the years immediately following World War II. It was here where legacies were created giving recognition to musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, and other emerging jazz geniuses of the era.
The exhibition features photographs and rare documents archiving this pivotal and exciting moment in American culture, captured by photographer and columnist William Gottlieb, and will be accompanied by Jammin’ in the Palm Court, a three-part live jazz series. The next concert is March 13. Learn more here.

Dedicated to ensuring the protection, restoration, and enhancement of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks, the Irvine Ranch Conservancy offers countless ways to connect with nature through planned excursions, hikes, and outdoor programs.
