An exciting presence on the local art scene, Jesse Christian Hendricks brings the lovely sounds of classical Spanish guitar to a spring afternoon at the museum.

Last year he filled the Haggin Room with the sights of Spain and the Mediterranean; this spring he brings a new program featuring a journey through South America to our Sunday music series.

Join us again for lush sounds and romance.

More than 1,100 art works submitted by teachers from 55 schools in San Joaquin County are now on display in The Haggin Museum's 79th Annual McKee Student Art Contest & Exhibition.

Begun by founding patron Robert T. McKee, this exhibition features the work of student artists in kindergarten through grade 12. McKee, who grew up on Oak Street in Stockton and traveled by steamboat twice a week to attend art school in San Francisco, understood the desire to pursue art. He hoped that an annual display of art work would encourage students by providing a public venue for their efforts.

The list of award winners is available here and in the exhibition, which also features a hands-on area for interactive fun.

Kick out the winter blues and join us for a jazz series ending April 1 featuring the music of a jazz icon whose birthday falls in the month.

No reservations are necessary and complimentary drinks and light refreshments will be provided. Seating is limited, so arrive early.
