About George McCalman George McCalman has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area's visual and cultural life for years — and his love of food runs just as deep. A 2025 James Beard Foundation Media Award recipient, George is a master of both pen and brush. He contributed his artistry to the acclaimed Black Food by Bryant Terry and published the seminal Illustrated Black History, a vibrant tribute to iconic and overlooked figures alike. His work continues to expand with A March Through Time, a major exhibition launching in October 2026.
