From Donal Ludwig "An art festival this memorable can only be The La Jolla." February 2010 Hello everyone; please let me introduce myself. I'm Don Ludwig and this is my third time at the helm of this prestigious event. I thought that my life would be golf courses and back yard after more than 30 years with SeaWorld Adventure Park, but it was not to be. This La Jolla Festival of the Arts and the people it serves are so important to me that I was glad to answer the call when I was asked to bring my experience to the Festival management. It's our 24th year! The Festival Board has been ramping up with some new events and challenges for 2010. First, you'll find our Festival design is a little different this year as we had to move a little to accommodate construction on the campus. Note that the dates this year are June 26-27. We plan to have some awesome sports cars to show off, so guys: this Festival isn't all girl's stuff! Our street chalking program was so successful last year that we are bringing it back. And I am pleased to report that Warwick's Bookstore, San Diego's favorite independent bookseller, will again host the Warwick's Pavilion and feature prominent authors and chefs. These chef events were standing-room-only when they were inaugurated two years ago. We are again fortunate to be supported this year by our colleagues at
Entijuanarte, the artist's collective in Baja California Norte. In
addition to nurturing the art world of Baja, Entijuanarte is helping us
promote the Festival to buyers there. Thanks to Cecilia Ochoa-Vasquez
and Karla Duarte for all their help. We'll be in touch often as the date grows closer. If you haven't already done so, be sure to sign up for our newsletter. Just follow the links on any page. ¡Bienvenidos! Los mejores artistas del oeste de Estados Unidos y Baja California Norte se reúnen el 26 y 27 de Junio para el festival de arte “La Jolla Festival of the Arts.” Este evento anual presentará el trabajo creativo de aproximadamente 200 artistas visuales. El público podrá apreciar música en vivo, entretenimiento, murales y comida exquisita. El evento se llevara acabo en la bella costa del condado de San Diego. La Jolla Festival of the Arts te ofrece un ambiente relajado y sociable para que conozcas a los artistas. Los boletos para el festival son de $10 USD. El festival es una ONG y su misión es recaudar fondos para desarrollar programas deportivos para San Dieguinos y veteranos discapacitados por las guerras en Irak y Afganistán. |
