Arts and Culture

 From April 28 – May 1, 2022, Art Alive, the San Diego Museum of Art’s signature fundraiser, is returning and bringing a kaleidoscope of color and flowers to the Museum. Talented floral designers will fill the galleries with more than 70 floral arrangements inspired by the Museum collection, offering brilliantly colored scenery for a weekend of beloved traditions and art-inspired activities.

 This April the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is set to debut its long-awaited renovation and expansion of its La Jolla flagship campus. The museum will feature four times the previous gallery space, two levels of light-filled galleries, a public park, and new seaside terraces, allowing visitors the opportunity to both relax and reflect. In addition, guests will be able to enjoy some 200 works of contemporary art with views of the Pacific Ocean serving as an inspiring backdrop. Opening in early summer 2022, The Kitchen @ MCASD will offer seating for up to 120 (inside and out) and robust to-go options.
