In succeeding years, the Guild has grown beyond all expectations and now has over one thousand members worldwide. According to Raymond Ashley, Ph.D., K.C.I., President/CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, “We are excited to share with our community the enormous talent of this special group of artisans enthusiastic about their knot-related work and eager to teach visitors the art of ropemaking and knot tying.” The purpose of IGKT NA is to promote the art, craft, and science of knotting, its study and practice, and to facilitate communications among all North American members and between the IGKT-NA and IGKT. For one day only, Maritime Museum of San Diego visitors and members can view IGKT NA members’ work, meet the artisans, learn the art of ropemaking, witness knot tying demonstrations and more.

Opening Reception with LIVE music curation by Nick Lesley + small bites by UPAC Neighborhood Enterprise Center Reception sponsored by the Friends of the Central Library As part of the Getty’s PST ART: Art and Science Collide, the San Diego Public Library’s Visual Arts Program presents "Helen and Newton Harrison: California Work," featuring the pioneering work of Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison. As founding members of UC San Diego's Visual Arts Department, the Harrisons developed groundbreaking ecological concepts. Presented as a multi-site exhibition in four locations around San Diego simultaneously, the exhibitions will examine the California works produced between the late 1960s and 2000s: Urban Ecologies, The Prophetic Works, Saving the West, and Future Gardens. Saving the West will allow visitors to delve deeply into the series of works associated with the Harrisons’ research on the fragile and environmentally threatened ecologies of the Pacific Coast fog forest and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Works reveal the Harrisons’ concept of the Force Majeure and their increasing concern with the issue of global climate change and related environmental degradation. "Helen & Newton Harrison: California Work" is organized and presented by the La Jolla Historical Society with partner venues California Center for the Arts Escondido, San Diego Central Library Judith Harris Art Gallery, and Mandeville Art Gallery at the University of California San Diego. Curated by Tatiana Sizonenko. "Helen & Newton Harrison: California Work" is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART.
