Andrew Alcasid will give an artist’s talk on April 11. His installation, “Turning Pages,” at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library has drawn viewers to his intimate drawings and alterations that highlight the library’s architectural assets. A graduate of the museum studies program at San Diego Mesa College, Alcasid also studied figure drawing at Miramar College and in the North Park Drawing Group. He has held artist residencies at Bread & Salt and Helmuth Projects, creating site-specific interventions. With an eye for scale, he began experimenting with street art and became a member of the electrical box program. His large-scale murals include “Omega” in Mira Mesa and “Cube, Palm, Orchid” in Normal Heights. After being diagnosed with cancer in 2019, Alcasid focused his energy on smaller scale still-life paintings. His partner, Aubrey Mejia, a floral designer, brought a variety of flowers to hospital and home as Alcasid underwent chemotherapy, and his resulting watercolor series of simple daisies in glass vases became the subject of the sold-out show “Get Well Soon” at Visual Art Gallery in North Park in 2021. Continuing the collaboration, the couple began the “Turning Pages” series. Combining both shared passions of reading and drawing, they used the time during the global pandemic and Alcasid’s convalescence to create the quiet studies on view at the Athenaeum through May 6, 2023.

Looking for a chance to meet one of the longest-standing members of the Grateful Dead family? On Saturday, April 8, San Diego will have a chance to meet Steve Parish at one of two March and Ash locations; either from noon - 2 p.m. at their Mission Valley location, or from 3 - 5 p.m. at their Vista location. Steve, also known as Big Steve has teamed up with California-based cannabis growers Grizzly Peak to launch his own line of “Big Steve” products, available at March & Ash locations throughout Southern California. A fan favorite includes his Big Steve Infused Pre-Roll Pack, with seven hybrid pre-rolls, ready for delivery or pickup in March, and Ash’s Mission Valley, Vista, Imperial Valley, City Heights, Chula Vista H. St, and Imperial Beach locations. Steve Parish has been a primary member of the Grateful Dead family for 50 years, first joining the band as a roadie in 1969. He quickly became Jerry Garcia’s trusted gear handler and began to manage the Jerry Garcia Band, where they forged an unbreakable bond. Steve continues to maintain his relationships with the rest of the Grateful Dead family.

Please join us to hear from special guest speaker Dr. Matthew Pendergraft from Scripps, co-author of a study entitled, "Bacterial and Chemical Evidence of Coastal Water Pollution from the Tijuana River in Sea Spray Aerosol". Photo of polluted waters off Imperial Beach from WILDCOAST. Please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpcu-prTktG9PoIxwNLFxJroh24Q5EKz-4?fbclid=IwAR0Xw5B6IWMPosKagSPiF45GSaqKjg3ZZG2T_Hr304tDiZI_aoygp4Scamg About ½ of the world’s population lives near the coast, and coastal water pollution (CWP) is widespread. Although this study was conducted at Imperial Beach in Southern California, the findings have implications for other coastal areas worldwide that have been affected by human activity. Swimming or playing in ocean water after it rains is not the only way to be exposed to sewage pollution, according to new research led by Scripps Oceanography. We will hear from Scripps PhD graduate Matthew Pendergraft about the findings of a recent study led by him and Scripps atmospheric chemist Kim Prather. He will discuss whether sewage-polluted coastal waters transfer to the atmosphere in sea spray aerosol and if this can pose a potential threat to people far beyond just beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers. There will be time for questions from the audience. There is no charge for this online event, but you must register in advance Once you do, you will receive a confirmation email with the link to join the meeting. This will also enable us to inform you if there are any last minute announcements, instructions or other information. Thank you. North County Climate Change Alliance on Facebook / Instagram
