Stoney B Blues (Michael Stone) is a true bluesman from Chicago. He is currently based in San Diego and available for touring and festivals. He grew up listening to his father Lil Howling Wolf play the blues that his dad learned from the great Howling Wolf. In 2025, with over 50 years of experience, he has become a highly accomplished guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and recording artist of the Blues. Stoney B not only has lots of talent but that wonderful gift of communication which grabs people’s attention as he brings them into a truly enjoyable, masterful and often humorous experience as he entertains them with the Down Home Blues. He feels and shares at a soulful level the essence of the blues with strong influences from Muddy Waters, BB King and Jimmy Reed. He spent 14 years playing in the clubs and on the streets in New Orleans with Elliott Small. Their internationally famed act “Stoney B and Grandpa” was formed when Stoney B started calling Elliott “Grampa”! In recent years Stoney B has lost most of his eyesight so you did not see him much during the pandemic but he is back and has to do what is in his soul to do ... and that is play the Blues for you.

Fight for our Future at the "Unite for Climate" March on Saturday, May 3rd at 11 a.m. at Waterfront Park, San Diego, CA. Thousands of San Diegans will rally together, march in unity, and enjoy live music, organization booths, inspiring speakers, face painting and more! From scorching wildfires to devastating floods, climate disasters are no longer distant threats—they are happening here and now. The Trump administration has launched an all-out assault on climate action, rolling back decades of environmental protections, firing federal workers who stand for climate science, and shamelessly calling the climate crisis a “hoax.” We march for clean air and water, for the protection of our homes, for a just economy with good-paying green jobs, and for a world that puts people before polluters.

Rooted in African-American freedom struggles and Igbo cosmology, The Skeuomorph unfolds as a poetic meditation on technological agency and the myths we encode in our machines. At the center of the exhibition stands BLKBX (BB)—a sculptural object, a "smarter" speaker and a speculative AI entity trained on documents of African American and African Diasporic histories, biographies and philosophies of freedom. Through a multisensory installation featuring reimagined political speeches, archival fragments, and layered sonic environments, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how history reverberates in the present—shaping the voices we amplify, the ones we silence, and the futures we imagine. Co-sponsored by the Department of Visual Arts Visiting Speaker Series, this event includes panel discussion with Louis Chude-Sokei, Professor and George and Joyce Wein Chair of English and Director of the African American and Black Diaspora Studies Program at Boston University; in addition to recently publishing The Sound of Culture: Diaspora and Black Technopoetics (2015), Chude-Sokei collaborated with Berlin based electronic artists Mouse on Mars, with whom he produced the album Anarchic Artificial Intelligence (2021). Event moderated by Amy Alexander, Professor of Visual Arts and Gallery QI committee co-chair and Robert Twomey, Assistant Teaching Professor of Visual Arts and Committee Member of the Department of Visual Arts Visiting Speaker Series. Chude-Sokei and Mendi Obadike will participate via Zoom. Gallery QI on Facebook / Instagram

Betty Boop has been a cultural icon for nearly 100 years. In collaboration with Fleischer Studios, this one-of-a-kind exhibit embarks on a nostalgic journey, starting with Betty’s beginnings to her rise to international popularity—and what makes her a fan favorite today. First introduced in 1930, Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer for his “Talkartoons” series, the world’s first animated “talkies,” which Max’s company, Fleischer Studios, produced for Paramount Studios. While she first appeared in the animated film Dizzy Dishes as a dog-like singer, she quickly lost her canine features and was given the name Betty Boop in 1931, making her the first female animated screen star in history. Personifying the fabulous flappers and jazz artists of the day, she was also the earliest animated character to be on broadcast television, drawn live on-air by creator Max Fleischer. Also highlighted are the eight women who have voiced Betty over the years, and history and animation enthusiasts will appreciate the focus on innovative industry pioneers Max and Dave Fleischer, founders of Fleischer Studios and inventors of the rotoscope. Get Tickets Museum Hours: Monday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday – Closed Thursday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
