Art nourishes the mind and spirit but can also be significant and tell a story. Their art can represent cultures as the artist’s voices share so much of their spirit and history. On May 25th, the Modesto Art Museum and The State present Tokyo Stories, a documentary that spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic Japanese art – ranging from woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige to Pop Art to contemporary photography and Manga and more. Don’t miss out on this chance to immerse yourself in another culture. Additional screenings run from the 25th-28th. More info: https://thestate.org/ More music, no problem! Porchfest returns for the 2023 season! This local area event is a favorite because it is free and hosts a ton of local music at a collection of porch parties in the La Loma, College, and Downtown Modesto areas. It all goes down from Noon to 5 pm on May 21st and is open to all ages. Support the local music scene and get to know your neighbors throughout Modesto.
