And gives the shoppers a chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artworks, which cannot be found in chain stores. There are no imported items at this Bazaar. In addition, the buyer is purchasing work directly from the artist and can meet them face to face.” Guild President Judianne Shannon says, “Even if you have been to our Holiday Bazaar in the past, there are new artists and new items to see. All of our artists have been juried into this show so that the buyer can be assure of a quality product.” There will be a Silent Auction of artworks donated by the participating artists. Cheryl DeLain, jewelry artist says, “Our artwork is special because it is from all local artists and often of local scenes. Our Bazaar features really special deals on silent auction items where the proceeds help support our Off Track Gallery.” Each of the participating artists have a real passion for their craft and it shows. If you are looking for a unique gift or just decide to treat yourself, this Bazaar is the place you will find it.

Andaz San Diego will be showcasing Tyson King’s latest collection, “The Evolution of Man,” on the Westside rooftop. Attendees can enjoy wine and beer, a DJ, and have the chance to meet Tyson and discuss his art. All pieces will be available for purchase and will be put on display in the hotel lobby following the event. Tyson King is an Artist from San Diego, California. With a focus on “Optimistic Abstract Art,” he channels positive energy into his pieces in an attempt to uplift the viewer. Self-taught, he rarely mixes colors in order to display the boldness of each brushstroke. Drawing inspiration from the rhythms he encounters in everyday life he creates a conversation with the viewer to show what is beyond our visual perception. He paints not so viewers can see his art but so they can “feel it." The "Evolution of Man" display is about stepping forward towards enlightenment. This art exhibit is an interactive way to think of evolving. You see the process go from a toddler, to child, then becoming an adult. Each mannequin took about a month to paint as the details are abundant. Most viewers take the opportunity to stand in front of the last mannequin and become the final step of evolution.
