Carlsbad Art in the Village

Held every Summer since 1998, the Carlsbad Village Association’s Art in the Village will return on Sunday, June 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., bringing 115 local and regional fine artists for a unique one-day, open-air art show. All artwork is juried and patrons can meet the artists in their booths the day of the event. Oil, watercolor, mixed media, digital, photography, glasswork, woodworking, jewelry, pottery, and more will be on display and for purchase.

Celebrating the dynamic art culture in Carlsbad Village and the surrounding areas, this annual event attracts 7,500 art enthusiasts each year. Starting at 9 a.m., just two blocks from Carlsbad State Beach, attendees can browse dynamic exhibits and meet the artists along State Street and Grand Avenue. Art in the Village will also feature:

- Live sculpting, pottery, jewelry making, and painting demos throughout the day.

- Pop-Up Art: An Interactive Encounter (formerly Family Open Studios), that provides a 400 square foot art-making pavilion for children and their families, operated by the City of Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office.

- Live music on the Grand Avenue stage by The Ramblin’ Sweethearts and the That’s Right Band sponsored by Ting, with local musicians playing throughout the venue.

- Food, Wine, and Beer Garden - this is a family-friendly location in the heart of the venue at the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue that will offer gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches by Drippin’ Kitchen, fish burritos and poke by Nico’s Fish Market, and fresh Acai Bowls by Acai Surf & Roll, along with craft beer by Pure Project and wine by Carruth Cellars.

- New this year is a vibrant temporary pop-up art installation consisting of 10 curated surfboards by local and regional artists. Each Carlsbad-centric image is unique and highlights a different medium including carving, stained glass, mosaic, mixed media, airbrushing, acrylic and oil painting. The surfboards will be on display at Art in the Village and on display the week prior throughout Carlsbad Village.
