Art Makes You Smart

. . . strong causal relationships do in fact exist between arts education and a range of desirable outcomes.

The title of a recent New York Times article says it all: Art Makes You Smart. We couldn’t agree more! So feed your brain as well as your belly this holiday weekend by stopping over to the Presidio for a visit to Tree Fall. Docents will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday.

After December 1, Tree Fall will be available weekdays by appointment through the Presidio Trust (415.561.5300). Weekend hours resume January 2014.

Have a warm and happy Thanksgiving!
