Following a national search, performing arts consultant Kristin Lancino of New York City has been selected by the La Jolla Music Society (LJMS) board of directors to be the Society’s new president and artistic director, effective Oct. 15, 2015.
A seemingly playful (yet deliciously subversive) work by painter and conceptual artist Terry Allen, “Playing La Jolla (for all it’s worth),” is the latest attraction in the Murals of La Jolla rotating, public art series.
Allen’s piece, which replaces Robert Irwin and Philipp Scholz Rittermann’s “The Real Deal,” was shunned by a property owner near its originally intended location off Torrey Pines Road. The move proved serendipitous, however, as the mural was installed Sept. 17 where all eyes will surely be upon it — adjacent the much anticipated luxury cinema complex, The Lot, at 7611 Fay Ave.
Born in Wichita, Kansas in 1943 and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Allen received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. He has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as three National Endowment for the Arts grants.
In 1986, Allen created “Trees,” one of the outdoor installations in the Stuart Collection at UC San Diego. For the piece, he salvaged three eucalyptus trees from a grove that was razed to make way for new buildings. He preserved two, encasing them in lead skins and placing them within a eucalyptus grove between the Geisel Library and the Faculty Club. One emits a series of recorded songs and the other poems and stories created and arranged specifically for this project.
That’s a wrap! Almost. In what seems like record time for a project of its magnitude, only 16 months after Jonathan’s Market sold its last salmon filet and it was announced a movie theater would take its place, popcorn machines and movie screens are in place at 7611 Fay Ave.

La Jolla-based Interactive Photography (intphoto.com) has become one of the country’s leading providers of photo entertainment services for special events and conventions.

I don’t think there is a parent out there who wouldn’t agree that if there’s a good teacher-child fit, the school year flies by. A bad fit and it’s a long year indeed. I should probably interject that there might not be anything wrong with the teacher other than she doesn’t like your kid. As hard as it is to accept, your child may be a total pain.
