Efforts Help Preserve and Present the Art of the People

Even after many
years in San Diego,
there are things I
learn about some
of the citys most
beloved places
that amaze me.
Recently, I read
KUDOS/GIVING
that Balboa Park
is the nations
Stephanie R. Glidden
largest urban cultural
park, and indeed, it is. New York
Citys Central Park is 1.3 square miles
and Balboa Park is 1.8 square miles.
Another difference is that it never
snows in Balboa Park as far as I know.
Nestled among the 17 other
museums in Balboa Park is the Mingei
International Museum. Located on the
west end on the Plaza de Panama, the
Mingei is worth a visit. Founded in
1996 by San Diego State University
professor of art, Martha Longenecker,
the Mingei means the art of the
people. During her 35-year tenure at
SDSU, Longenecker often studied in
Japan, which gave her the opportunity
to work directly with some of Japans
most well renowned art historians
and aestheticians. As a result of her
contribution to transcultural artistic
understanding, Longenecker was
awarded the Order of the Rising Sun
by the Emperor of Japan, Akihito, in
2003. Longenecker personally oversaw
the architectural design and build-out
of the 41,000 square-foot museum
facility on the Plaza de Panama in
Balboa Park (opened in August 1996),

and the installation of its inaugural

exhibitions.
Recently the 2014 Mingei Fusion
fundraiser at the museum drew 225
attendees and raised $55,000. The
money will go directly to the museums
efforts to preserve and exhibit folk
art, craft and design from all eras and
cultures of the world. The museum has
more than 26,000 objects of folk art,
craft and design from 141 countries. For
