"Let’s Go Wild!" — A Celebration of Wildlife and Wonder

A collective of San Diego regional artists announces, “Let’s Go Wild!”, an immersive wildlife‑inspired art exhibition created and organized by the exhibiting artists. This lively, interactive event invites visitors to experience wildlife art in surprising, playful, and engaging ways through hands‑on activities, creative workshops, educational programs, and imaginative encounters that spark curiosity and joy.

Celebrating Local Agriculture & Biodiversity

With support from the San Diego County Farm Bureau (www.sdfarmbureau.org), the exhibition highlights how local farms help protect wildlife and biodiversity. Their interactive display—created with contributions from regional producers—shows how stewardship and food production coexist in a shared landscape. While art inspires love for wildlife, farming helps protect it.
