From Highland Park Caddy to Pebble Beach Celebrity:
Schulz and the Game of Golf |
 |
June 16 through September 27, 2010
Upstairs Changing Gallery |
Sports were important to Schulz, and golf was one of his favorite games. He reported in 1967, “The things I like to do the best are drawing cartoons and hitting golf balls.” From caddying at St. Paul’s Highland Park to his 35 years of play at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, from playing on his high school golf team to his late-in-life weekly foursome, Schulz not only enjoyed the game, but he excelled at it. This exhibition features original Peanuts strips, photographs, memorabilia, and a video presentation in which Schulz talks about his love of the game.

| Pop Culture in Peanuts |
 |
May 19 through September 20, 2010
Strip Rotation Gallery |
From beatnik cool to the grunge movement, Schulz frequently referenced the latest trend, technology, and slang in Peanuts. Part of Schulz’s genius was his ability to adapt the latest American fad for his comic strip in a way that was both relevant and uniquely funny. Relive five decades of pop culture in Peanuts in this exhibition of 70 original strips.

| The Language of Lines: Imaginary Places in the Comics |
 |
April 24 through August 22, 2010
Downstairs Changing Gallery |
From the richly detailed flora and fauna of Pogo’s Okefenokee
Swamp to the minimalist surroundings of Peanuts, cartoonists
have created unique environments in which
their characters live, work, and play. Among
the most memorable comic strip locales are Li’l Abner’s Dogpatch, Krazy Kat’s Coconino
County, and Beetle Bailey’s Camp Swampy.
This is the final exhibition in the Language
of Lines trilogy, co-curated by cartoon
historian Brian Walker.
