Manhattan Beach’s own Kevin Salk, an accomplished photographer who shot bands from the South Bay when he was a teenager, has curated a lineup of legendary punk photographers who are coming together to showcase A Visual History of South Bay Punk Rock. This exhibit will have a gallery element with photographs for sale, as well as a museum element that outlines the chronological history of punk in the South Bay, told through images shot by this group of luminaries. A special thanks to Deux Punx wines for sponsoring this intimate gathering.
