| Description |
The 7th Annual ArtWalk on the Bay, taking place at the Waterfront Park at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, will bring more than 150 artists and thousands of spectators to "The Big Bay" in San Diego. During the festival, art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to peruse and purchase thousands of paintings, sculpture, photographs and other original works of art while enjoying a spectacular grassy setting along the waterfront. Sponsored by the Port of San Diego, the festival is known for its picturesque venue, located adjacent to the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, with views that look out to Coronado Island and southern California's active sailing and yachting community. The "little sister" of the West Coast's largest fine art festival held in the spring, Mission Federal ArtWalk, ArtWalk on the Bay provides an intimate setting which allows art lovers an opportunity to engage one-on-one with the artists, discover the inspiration behind their work and make purchasing decisions that enrich one's spirit and decor. Artists come from all parts of the western region to showcase their work. A special event feature, "Artes de Mexico" will bring culture-rich works of art created by Mexico-based artists. A full lineup of musical entertainment, "ArtWalk on the Bay Café" and a host of gourmet food and drink choices will enhance the festival's popularity.ArtWalk on the Bay continues to gain momentum and vibrancy as a pillar event of "Arts Month San Diego," a region-wide celebration showcasing the city's arts and cultural programs in galleries, artist-run initiatives, museums, performance venues and festivals. ArtWalk on the Bay's managing director, Sandi Cottrell, is proud to be one of the three founders of Arts Month San Diego. In its third year, the initiative spotlights art experiences available by neighborhood and features art-based travel itineraries for visitors to plan their stays in San Diego.The outdoor fine art festival is also known as a welcoming atmosphere in the arts community with hands-on art activities for kids and families at KidsWalk, which is based on the philosophy that every child has an artist inside waiting to bloom. Local non-profits like ArtReach, which brings arts education to schools, will provide activities for kids to create their own work of art to take home with them.
