Art
"Pilgrimage"
In a departure from her iconic portraits, Annie Leibovitz's 2011 book, Pilgrimage, captures the candid moments in time, from the mundane (a broken television) to the extraordinary (Niagara Falls). These images, all of which have special meaning to the photographer, are the subject of a traveling exhibition of the same name organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The collection makes its Northern California stop south of San Francisco.
When: Thurs., 6/6 - Sun., 9/8
Where: San Jose Museum of Art, 110 South Market St., San Jose

Art
"Continuous Wave"
In Ian Kimmerly's next exhibit "Continuous Wave," viewers will have the chance to play a more sophisticated and artsy version of Where's Waldo? while searching for faces, hands, or maybe even a whole human body within Kimmerly's sea of abstract brush strokes.  
When: Thurs. 6/6 - Sat. 7/6
Where: Dolby Chadwick Gallery, 210 Post St.

Film
SF Doc Film Fest
The SF Documentary Film Festival is back with 60 fabulous nonfiction films from around the world, and it's kicking off with a behind-the-curtain look at Burning Man with Spark: A Burning Man Story.

When: Thurs. 6/6 - Sun. 6/23
Where: Various venues

Dance
Ethnic Dance Festival
Turn up your Mexican folk and funky Fogolystic samba reggae, and put on your glorious coque feather headpieces because the Ballet Folklórico Netzahualcoyotl and Fogo Na Roupa Performing Company are ready to get down at the launch of this year's San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. And they probably won't ask you to come to the dance floor, but it's good to be ready just in case.  
When: Fri. 6/7 - Sun. 6/30
Where: Various venues 

Screening
Rebels with a Cause
All it takes is a village -- that's the message in Rebels With a Cause, a documentary by Nancy Kelly and Kenji Yamamoto about a few fierce Marinites who banded together to save the Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area from big business development.
