leaders, law enforcement and community members to call out an increase of hate and violence targeting jewish people both across the nation and in san francisco, we must all come together to stand with jewish community. >> to condemn anti-semitism. the bottom line is hate has no place in san francisco. we are not going to stand for it. just this month. the group's peeling anti-jewish hate attacked a man in san francisco's marina district and then he's in the mission was subjected vandals who broke into the building and scrolled anti-jewish hate messages across the walls. i'm not the only throughout history at messages on the wall saying you don't belong here. but there's a dark tide of anti-semitism that is covering our country and its shadow as we start city. san francisco cannot allow this to happen. we have to stand against that because it is in our blood to be a city that welcomes everyone. >> those at friday's rally say while the anti-jewish hate coming from the right is easy

to identify similar hate from the left is harder to spot, but just as toxic and destructive, it has to end. >> and jews need to stand up and be proud and not hide. and our allies need to stand up and say that is not acceptable. >> the anti-defamation league reports anti-semitic incidents have been steadily increasing across the country over the last 10 years. as for why many point the finger at political and military decisions made by the state of israel. but local jewish leaders say that's hardly justification for anti-semitic behavior here at home. >> every june has a different opinion about what's happening over there. their level of connection to it. it's never ok for someone to be held responsible for something happening overseas. so the key takeaway here is not only that san francisco will not put up with anti-jewish hate, but the people, both jews and non jews must speak up and not stay silent. at city hall. dan kerman kron. 4 news.

defensible spaces to avoiding weed abatement during peak times of the day. not a lot of fire experience here. the north day since 2017 through. >> 2020, those fires collectively really changed how our community prepares understands for the risk to wildfire. fire officials say red flag warnings are good reminders for people to form fire evacuation plans and have a go bag. ready with essentials. >> reporting in the newsroom. i'm rob nesbitt. kron. 4 news. >> and this is a look at pg e's outage map. the areas highlighted in purple representing where the power shut offs are in effect. those include communities and alameda contra costa and santa clara counties. due to the increased fire risk pg e set up a community resource center in livermore for people without power friday offering charging stations, water, snacks and blankets. the utility says windy conditions can cause downed trees to topple over power lines or send debris flying into electrical equipment. that's

was subjected vandals who broke into the building and scrolled anti-jewish hate messages across the walls. i'm not the only throughout history at messages on the wall saying you don't belong here. but there's a dark tide of anti-semitism that is covering our country and its shadow as we start city. san francisco cannot allow this to happen. we have to stand against that because it is in our blood to be a city that welcomes everyone. >> those at friday's rally say while the anti-jewish hate coming from the right is easy to identify similar hate from the left is harder to spot, but just as toxic and destructive, it has to end. >> and jews need to stand up and be proud and not hide. our allies need to stand up and say that is not acceptable. >> the anti-defamation league reports anti-semitic incidents have been steadily increasing across the country over the last 10 years. as for why many point the finger at political

and military decisions made by the state of israel. but local jewish leaders say that's hardly justification for anti-semitic behavior here at home. >> every june has a different opinion about what's happening over there. their level of connection to it. it's never ok for someone to be held responsible for something happening overseas. so the key takeaway here is not only that san francisco will not put up with anti-jewish hate, but the people, both jews and non jews must speak up and not stay silent. at city hall. dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> 807, this morning and heads up. if you need to take part in to the east bay this weekend, the agency will not run trains between the walnut creek and concord stations. so crews can do track placement work. free bus shuttles are being offered instead. make sure to plan accordingly because there could be delays of up to 30 minutes. normal service resumes on monday. happening today, ghirardelli square hosted all love fest event for pride month and part of beach street near aquatic

cost to attending these courses? in some cases the communities pay for them? in other cases, we find foundations in grants and there have been some, as you might well known. some tectonic shifts in the u.s. france landscape. we lost $20,000 national endowment for the arts i will let you know that our web site is our with elders dot com. and if you go there, you can see the artwork of our students and feel free to click on the donate button as well. yeah. and so many organizations impacted by those federal cuts and among the and among them your so definitely want to get the word out about that. so this month, also watching 2 new exhibits. tell us a bit about that. as a matter of fact, we have 3 new exhibits and there's an opening today at ruth's table. and that is that 21st and sanchez. and that is a celebration of our pride month and we just wrapped up our opening for the laguna

honda exhibition every year. the exhibition's part of a program is very important. every year we have each of our students donate one of paintings all of those 500 paintings then go up on our website and they can be seen. but they're also a juried for a frame. and we have a biography done of the artists. we have a photograph taken of town and then we invite everyone to our big community event this year. we finally were back we have been since pre-covid unable have these big events extremely well intended. it will be open to the public starting next week. and if you go to our web site with dot org, you'll be able to see exactly when the 3rd exhibit is exhibit that will just be profoundly impactful. we have a work at the harvey milk terminal san francisco

airport. and we expect well over a million people to see that it does my heart good to think. the challenges that we're seeing with names like harvey milk and, you know, trying to erase someone like that from history. it's wonderful to think that we have the opportunity for people to come in and see our message of inclusion, acceptance and then take that back to their homes around the country or even around the world. so, yeah, i mean, you know, creativity is by virtue and optimistic exercise and when we gather these groups of elders together to participate in this activity. you know, i kind of light. i said we have 500 students where consider them teachers and a lot of we instructors, the 25 of us. we we find ourselves learning so much more than i think we're able to impart. you know, these are really great lessons. lessons about how to grow old gracefully and compassionately creatively.

can you share maybe a memory or story that really illustrates the impact your organization has on the seniors who >> go through your classes and the different experiences they have there. >> one of my dear friends i over here is what been one of my students for well over a decade. is this on the far? first won their last one to leave just radiates joy and happiness and, you know, see someone who came to the program not able to make are not interested in making art kind of circled the classroom wondering when she should die. we started having a look at magazines and things. it is pabsolutely become her identity. she considers herself an artist and it's really profound. this young woman noon, young woman. i say 98 going on, 58. she's absolutely lovely. and this

program is a one that we started just about a year for the wings of love church over in oakland. yeah. one of our instructors came and said i think i have a community that would be well served by a program and we went out. we found the resources to make that happen. now she too. i mean, this is never painted before. wow, that's incredible. yeah. the level of detail. i love the colors there as well. and then you also have a beautiful painting. your left. yes, this is the one we feature on display for the for the exhibit. we're gonna honda hospital this is from the mission neighborhood center concepts leon. it's just extraordinary piece and one of the things that we take pride in his is meeting our students where they are culturally. we have our instructors. we have 5 different languages spoken. and so, you know, such a diverse community of san francisco and the bay area. we want to make sure that we reach people where they we don't tell them what to paint.

we try to get them envision what it is that they want to make and we assist them. we help them get together. so we get in the ring with them. and i hink that's part of the reason we get so much as instructors from working with our students. we learn how to make art as much as they learn. how from as we start to wrap up your last minute. >> how can organizations get involved? maybe maybe it's a retirement home or even families who have seniors. so who, you know, want to get maybe the older folks out and try something new. how can they get involved? >> it's ironic. but, you know, talking about challenges that covid brought one of the things we were able to do is create an online system so that folks who want to take classes online are able to go to our web site learn how to link up and we will do that. but also if there are a partner communities interested in having our classes, i would encourage them to go to our website as well and all the

information about how to get in touch with us. is there. i want to say to, you know, if feel the urge since you know, the foundations and grants landscape seems to you a challenge for us i would also encourage folks to to donate as well. yeah. all right. mark campbell, executive director of art with elders, thank you so much for your time. thank you is a pleasure. stephanie. thanks so much. we'll be right thanks so much. we'll be right back.

history was had messages on the wall saying you don't belong here. but there's a dark tide of anti-semitism that is covering our country and its shadow as we start city. san francisco cannot allow this to happen. we have to stand against that because it is in our blood to be a city that welcomes everyone. >> those at friday's rally say while the anti-jewish hate coming from the right is easy to identify similar hate from the left is harder to spot, but just as toxic and destructive, it has to end. >> and jews need to stand up and be proud and not hide. and our allies need to stand up and say that is not acceptable. >> the anti-defamation league reports anti-semitic incidents have been steadily increasing across the country over the last 10 years. as for why many point the finger at political and military decisions made by the state of israel. but local jewish leaders say that's hardly justification for

anti-semitic behavior here at home. >> every june has a different opinion about what's happening over there. their level of connection to it. it's never ok for someone to be held responsible for something happening overseas. so the key takeaway here is not only that san francisco will not put up with anti-jewish hate, but the people, both jews and non jews must speak up and not stay silent. at city hall. dan kerman kron. 4 news. >> heads up. if you need to take part in the east bay this weekend, the agency will not run trains between the walnut creek and concord stations. so crews can do track replacement work. free bus shuttles are being offered instead. make sure to plan accordingly because there could be delays of up to 30 minutes. service resumes on monday. happening today. you're going square hosting all love fest event for pride month. part of beach street near aquatic park transforms into a colorful block party. the event features drag shows a pop-up market and limited edition pride treats the family-friendly event runs

illustrates the impact your organization has on the seniors who >> go through your classes and the different experiences they have there. one of my dear friends i over here is what been one of my students for well over a decade. is this on the far? >> first won their last one to leave just radiates joy and happiness and, you know, see someone who came to the program not able to make are not interested in making art kind of circled the classroom wondering when she should die. then we started having a look at magazines and things. it is absolutely become her identity. she considers herself an artist and it's really profound. this young woman noon, young woman. i say 98 going on, 58. she's absolutely lovely. and this program is a one that we started just about a year for

the wings of love church over in oakland. yeah. one of our instructors came and said i think i have a community that would be well served by a program and we went out. we found the resources to make that happen. now she too. i mean, this is never painted before. wow, that's incredible. yeah. the level of detail. i love the colors there as well. and then you also have a beautiful painting. your left. yes, this is the one we feature on display for the for the exhibit. we've hospital this is from the mission neighborhood center concepts leon. it's just extraordinary piece and one of the things that we take pride in his is meeting our students where they are culturally. we have our instructors. we have 5 different languages spoken. and so, you know, such a diverse community of san francisco and the bay area. we want to make sure that we reach people where they we don't tell them what to paint. we try to get them envision

what it is that they want to make and we assist them. we help them get together. so we get in the ring with them. and i think that's part of the reason we get so much as instructors from working with our students. we learn how to make art as much as they learn. how from as we start to wrap up last minute. >> how can organizations get involved down? maybe maybe it's a retirement home or even families who have seniors. so who, you know, want to get maybe the older folks out and try something new. how can they get involved? >> it's ironic. but, you know, talking about challenges that covid brought one of the things we were able to do is create an online system so that folks who want to take classes online are able to go to our web site learn how to link up and we will do that. but also if there are a partner communities interested in having our classes, i would encourage them to go to our website as well and all the information about how to get in touch with us. is there. i

want to say to, you know, if feel the urge since you know, the foundations and grants landscape seems to you a challenge for us. i would also encourage folks to to donate as well. yeah. all right. mark campbell, executive director of art with elders, thank you so much for your time. thank you is a pleasure. stephanie. thanks so much. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ so one, two three ♪ ♪ take my hand and come with me ♪ ♪ because you look so fine ♪

now the salon experience sounds a bit more intimate. so tell us about that. it is. so it's the piedmont center for the arts is the place that we do it and it seats about 110. and in addition to being able to have such close access to the singers and the musicians that are playing. we have a reception afterward where there's interface between the audience, the artists and a real moment to build community so that it's not that the artist on a pedestal in they go away. it's. artists are real people. and we really need the connection with our i always tell my people when they come to performances that everyone out there in a seat has an important role and they're playing it. the audience is a role in opera. audience is a role in art. and without that role being played. we're doing nothing.

connection not just between the artists and the audience, but between each other. yeah, that's my goal. that's a beautiful message right there. >> you've described so many wonderful things you have planned for this upcoming season. walk us through the amount of just the the resources and the time it takes to really pour your heart out into something like this. >> i lead time is about 18 months to get a season up on its feet swell. it takes a lot of connections between, you know, calendars and artists. send it with the work that we're producing and casting and tech teams and designers and costumers. and you know, all he says that it takes to build an opera. and it takes fundraising were not funded by any, you know, government grants or city funding or

anything like that. so it's all individual donations that were running and you know, keeping our donors involved and engaged is a constant thing, you and luckily it's the thing i love. and it's the things that they love to. i think it's it's important that. we continue to produce things that donors and ticket buyers really love and are interested and it just keeps the machine yeah. >> how come people find out more information about the salon concerts or even the events that you have upcoming season? everything that they need to know is online at festival opera dot org, cat. and we post everything else are everything. and and more on our social media platforms on facebook and instagram at
