Plate tectonics is the unifying theory of modern geology; Pro. Rioux will discuss the importance of current research.

For the 33rd year, the Museum honors the Mexican tradition of remembering the dead with a display of altars created by students in the Museum’s school and outreach programs and local community groups, including San Marcos High School, Montecito Union School, Quilt Project Gold Coast, SBMA’s Partnership with A-OK After-School Program (multiple schools), and SBMA’s ArtReach program (multiple schools). Día de los Muertos-inspired art activities for all ages will be offered in multiple locations. On the Front Terrace, create skull charms and mini-alters from 11 am to 3 pm. In the Family Resource Center, enjoy print making from 12 to 4 pm.

Celebrating its 75th Anniversary and hailed by the Boston Globe as “the most important American quartet in history,” the ensemble draws on a deep and vital engagement to the classics, while embracing the mission of championing new works.
