You’re invited to the opening night of "Hiding in Plain Site," a debut retrospective featuring the deeply personal and powerful work of multidisciplinary artist and designer Joseph A. Henseler, on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Union Hall Gallery in San Diego; the exhibition will run through August 10. After creating in near-anonymity for over 30 years, Henseler brings 90 original works—sculpture, stained glass, painting, architectural design, and more into the light. His work is a testament to resilience, introspection, and the capacity for art to hold meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Opening night will include live music, refreshments, and a Q&A with the artist, whose story bridges architecture, wilderness, family, and spiritual healing. Closing weekend (August 9) will feature a special performance by Henseler’s wife, Chilean vocalist Lorena Isabell, and will be dedicated to survivors of domestic abuse and neglect, a deeply personal cause for the artist. The public is invited to attend this free, immersive exhibit and witness a journey three decades in the making.

The 13th annual Ramona Art, Wine & Music Festival is returning to Begent Ranch in Ramona, Calif., on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025. One of San Diego County’s most popular festivals, we will have over 50 booths featuring artists, artisans, wineries, and craft beverage makers, with live music all day long! The primary fundraiser at the festival is our famous live auction, featuring wine barrels and furniture embellished by local artists. Once again, one of San Diego’s most popular emcees, the entertaining Josh Lawson, will be our auctioneer. The silent auction will feature 50+ baskets, with something for everyone! By popular demand, we are adding more variety with food trucks. Complimentary catered small bites will therefore no longer be offered, and the good news is that ticket prices have been reduced by $15. Designated Driver tickets are also available. Proceeds from this event benefit the Ramona H.E.A.R.T. Mural Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been beautifying Ramona one mural at a time: currently 31 large-scale murals and counting, plus 17 mini-murals (painted utility boxes).
