Curator Dennis Reed and collector Stephen White lead a tour of California Stories: Photographs from the Stephen White Collection II on Sunday, June 12 at 2pm PST.

California is the subject of this exhibition, but this is not everyone’s California. Rather this is collector Stephen White’s particular view of the state. It is an area rich in natural wonders, flowing with abundant resources, and populated with fascinating individuals – pioneers, visionaries, and oddballs. This is a California full of tall tales and fiercely independent people who lived lives as big and bold as the state itself. These are some of the pictures and stories from Stephen White’s California.
