From San Diego weekend arts events (KPBS feature): Park Social is the City of San Diego's new public art program that pairs artists with public parklands in San Diego. It launched in May, with projects, installations, workshops, "activations" and other participatory events happening on a rolling basis until November — plenty of time for audiences to gradually discover as much of the art as possible. This weekend's "Park Social Exploration Day" is a way to make a day of it, and tour several projects in a row. Nine of the 18 projects will be on view, mostly in their final forms. I recently profiled Margaret Noble's sound-based chalk mural in Point Loma, "Locked Groove" in one of the summer's five works of art. You can also read more here about "Collective Memory," Yvette Roman and Sheena Rae Dowling's San Ysidro installation and community event. Also featured in Saturday's event are the "Toltec Totems" by Mario Torero and Sarah Bella Mondragon, which opens officially on Friday in pop-up form at the Centro Cultural de la Raza, as well as at the Balboa Park fountain and the Plaza de Panama.
