A symbol of hope
With many art shows and in-person events being canceled for most of 2020, ArtWalk celebrates the return of in-person art events and continues to serve as a symbol of hope for the art community. Attendees can peruse through the garden browsing artwork and enjoying food, wine and beer, and live entertainment at the two-day, free event.
The fine art exhibition will take place in the heart of Liberty Station at Ingram Plaza among 100,000 square feet of park-like space, with its towering American Flag surrounded by a rose garden and large spaces of grass and trees. Locals and visitors will have the opportunity to purchase artwork from local, national, and international artists in a variety of mediums.
“We are thrilled to see events beginning to resume in San Diego and ArtWalk is the perfect way to celebrate this return and bring some much-needed color and art into people’s lives,” said Curt Brooker, Director of ArtWalk San Diego. “As we ring in our 16th year, ArtWalk @ Liberty Station will showcase our most diverse range of artists from across all mediums of art, traveling from the US, Mexico and beyond.”

Always giving back
Each of ArtWalk San Diego’s three annual festivals supports their non-profit partner, ArtReach San Diego, a nonprofit organization aimed at increasing equity in visual arts education in K-8 schools throughout San Diego County by delivering free or low-cost workshops to schools that have no other resources for art, focusing on Title One Schools. Many of the programs ArtReach offers are provided at no cost to schools.
