Haight Ashbury, known for the birth of the free spirit movement and contributing to the fire of some of America’s classic artists, in the mid-1960s, artists, activists, writers, and musicians converged on Haight and Ashbury with hopes of creating a new social paradigm. By 1967, the neighborhood would attract as many as 100,000 young people from all over the nation. The neighborhood became ground zero for their activities, and nearby Golden Gate Park their playground. Local bands such as Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead were the progenitors of what would become known as the “San Francisco Sound,” music that found its visual counterpart in creative industries that sprang up throughout the region. Summer of Love commemorates an “only in San Francisco” social and aesthetic movement that will leave the museum’s visitors more in the know. The past never has to be the past. Check out some of the pieces below to get an idea of what to expect. Peace and love, man! // de Young, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr, GG Park, deyoung.famsf.org
