The beloved San Diego fine dining oasis Mister A’s has long provided a colorful accompaniment to the dining experience with art from long-time resident artist Marie Najera, infusing the dining space with curated pieces that help set the tone. As the restaurant embarks on a new era, the iconic San Diego hub will be hosting an art exhibition, selling Marie's pieces that the restaurant has had the honor of enjoying over the years. Painting professionally for over 22 years, Marie's mixed media work is a culmination of the stories of her life, a visual diary overlaid with the influence of her current inspirations. Marie's art has contributed to the guest's dining experience over the last several years. Pieces will range from $350 to $2000 and range in sizes of 18in x 18in to 4ft x 3ft. This one-time event is free and open to the public, and accompanying the art exhibition will be a spread of pastries and champagne that pair perfectly with sweeping views of the San Diego skyline.
