Where do vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance, the new faces in the 2024 election, stand on the arts? The answers are more interesting than you might think. Our reporter Maya Pontone has the ins and outs. In other news, artist Amy Sherald, who famously painted the official portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama in 2018, will get her first major survey at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art this spring. The exhibition will later travel to New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Also today: a visit to the Bay Area’s unorthodox Church of Magic Mushrooms, the internet’s fascinations with medieval cat plushies, Pia Arke, Aubrey Levinthal, Lacey Black, Hyperallergic’s Mini Art Crossword, and so much more.
