Welcome to Highland Park care of KCET. Today Departures offers part 2 with a look at the birth of the arts and crafts movement in Highland Park.
The global Arts and Crafts movement evolved in Highland Park and Pasadena thanks to the imagination, hard work and vision of local artists, intellectuals and entrepreneurs. The efforts of community leaders and eccentrics such as Lummis, Judson and Browne combined with those of thinkers inspired by life “on the arroyo,” such as plein air painter Franz Bischoff and block print maker Frances Gearhart, came together to pioneer one of the first artistic and cultural movements to come out of Los Angeles after the initial success in motion pictures.
Take the tour.
