Craftsman weekend

As always, there's a lot gwin-on. I'll be adding things throughout the day:

• Fans of all things Greene² will be interested in "A New and Native Beauty" opening at the Huntington:

The Huntington, in partnership with the Gamble House, USC, will present the most comprehensive exhibition ever undertaken on the work of Arts and Crafts legends Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene—the first such exhibition to travel outside of California.

“A ‘New and Native’ Beauty: The Art and Craft of Greene & Greene” will be on view from Oct. 18 through Jan. 26, 2009, in the MaryLou and George Boone Gallery at The Huntington. It then travels to the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. (March 13– June 7, 2009), and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (July 14–Oct. 18, 2009).

• If that whets your appetite for more, it's also "Craftsman Weekend" in Pasadena, promising "a full weekend of events including bus and walking tours of historic neighborhoods, a Craftsman House Tour that visits five distinctive Craftsman-era homes, exhibits of contemporary and antique Craftsman furnishings and accessories, plus special evening events in historic sites."
