From the gallery: Humans have positioned themselves as de facto rulers of the world, all while choosing to be completely removed from the natural world. This has led to devastating consequences as we have sought to reshape the planet for our comfort. Industrial societies have moved away from a harmonious coexistence with nature and can no long access the ancient, arcane knowledge through which our ancestors sustainably interacted with the earth. Climate Reckoning is an exploration of that lost connectivity with our fragile home and if we aren’t too late, how we might get the chance to salvage it. Participating artists include Amanda Saint Claire, Ann Olsen, Anna Stump, Bridget Rountree, Cindy Zimmerman, Helen Redman, Irene Abraham, Jane E Hindman, Jennifer Spencer, Judith Christensen, Judith Parenio, Kathleen McCord, Kathy Nida, Kim Niehans, Kirsten Aaboe, Linda Litteral, Lisa Hutton, Moya Devine, Nanette Newbry, Nilly Gill, Prudence Horne, Ruth Wallen, Stacie B Greene, Stephanie Bedwell, Susan Osborn, and Terri Hughes-Oelrich.

The Coronado Historical Association invites you to join us for a special event in our Wine & Lecture lineup this Spring. We will be hosting a film screening of the highly touted documentary "Home of the Brave". This film is the story of a woman, her father, a house, a forgotten box of letters, and all those left behind when someone gives their final full measure of devotion to their country. Kathy Estocin Foley and P.S. Foley created this thoughtful and artistic documentary about Vietnam War MIA Captain Mike Estocin and those who never forgot him. Capt. Estocin is a still-unaccounted-for fighter pilot shot down over Vietnam. The film will cover the tragic and inspiring story of this Medal of Honor recipient and highlight the courageous actions of Capt. Esocin’s wife, Marie Estocin, who fought as part of the famed League of Wives to bring home all of the MIA and POW individuals from the Vietnam War.
