Rick Cervantes is excited to bring back the Hillcrest Community Ofrenda this year! Last year, he created this altar at the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag as a space to not only honor his brother who lost his life in 2016, but to celebrate the lives of all of the community members and loved ones who are no longer with us. The first attempt in mid-October 2022 got destroyed overnight, so we decided to rebuild it on Halloween with Benny Cartwright recruiting some amazing community volunteers to stand watch over it 24 hours a day for three days. We’ll be doing this again this year, setting up starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31 and keeping it up through Thursday, Nov. 2. Everyone is welcome to bring photos or mementos to add to the ofrenda. Want to volunteer to help watch over the ofrenda so it's not destroyed or tampered with? We'd love your help! Sign-up here

From the gallery: ONE, Quint’s Logan Heights satellite space, will exhibit Light & Space artist Robert Irwin’s #7 x 8' (Blue Lou 2), a 2015 work which reflects his ongoing exploration of light, shadow, reflection, and color as material and tools for perception. Blue Lou 2 stems from the artist’s return to a studio practice which experiments with sculpture employing vertically-mounted fluorescent light bulbs wrapped in layers of theatrical gels, while continuing to expand upon his installation practice. Irwin’s inquiries into perception have expanded the definition of artmarking to include “site-conditional” art, which responds to the surrounding environment while drawing attention away from the materials themselves and removing the separation between the artwork and the space itself. These ephemeral viewing experiences and architectural interventions in both indoor and outdoor sites have defined his 60-year career and enduring legacy in contemporary art. About the artist: Born in 1928 in Long Beach, California and a longtime resident of San Diego, Robert Irwin has completed numerous permanent installations around the world, including 1° 2° 3° 4° (1997) at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, which blurred the space between the gallery and ocean by cutting four windows to expose the space to exterior light, air, smells, and sounds. In 2016, Irwin’s large-scale permanent installation and courtyard design Untitled (dawn to dusk) opened at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas, occupying a dilapidated former hospital building measuring approximately 10,000 square feet. Irwin divided the building’s interior into two wings—making one wing dark and the other light through the employment of evenly spaced windows and scrims bisecting each side. Irwin has also completed numerous site-conditioned landscape design projects, including the Central Gardens at the J. Paul Getty Center, Los Angeles and the plaza at the San Diego Federal Courthouse through the GSA Art + Architecture program, among others. Related links: Quint Gallery website | Instagram | Contact

A world premiere play by Kate Hamill Directed by Rob Lutfy The Little Fellow is a risqué comedic drama loosely based on the life and tell-all memoirs of the 19th century’s most famous courtesan – Harriette Wilson, also known as The Little Fellow. Since the age of thirteen, Harriet has navigated through the pitiless and glamorous world of the British regency’s demi-monde: eventually becoming the “top of the bottom” as the self-styled Queen of Tarts. Her defiance of social conventions and refusal to be a lady have attracted many patrons – included some of the country’s most distinguished and high-powered men. But Harriet wants to get out of the ‘business’… and she has a plan. A plan that may threaten her reputation, her business, and ultimately, her life – as she confronts the cost of winning in an unjust world. This World Premiere received its first reading through the Bill and Judy Garrett Finish Line Commission. Advisories: Mature humor, sexual content, mature & sexual themes, and depictions of violence. The production also contains smoke/haze effects and flashing lights. Related links: Cygnet Theatre website | Instagram | Facebook
