Surfing Madonna Oceans Project is pleased to present “Ocean/Earth/Air” a juried art & poetry regional show about our beautiful, fragile and fascinating world. 100 artists from across California will be selected to showcase their work on the environmental theme during the month of April 2023 with the reception on Sunday, April 23 of Earth Day weekend from 1 - 4 p.m. There will be art and poetry award and poetry readings at the reception and a concert from the locally renown Mission Hills high school band “The Preservationists” fresh from their concert in Japan.

Art can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world.

"Ripcord" By David Lindsay-Abaire A comedy of one-up-womanship Jan. 13 - Jan. 29, 2023 Thursday - Saturday @ 8 p.m., Sat-Sun Matinee @ 2 p.m. Directed by Kira Blaskovich It’s not every day you see a play based on two senior women in competition for sole access to the room of an assisted living facility. But that’s exactly what David Lindsay-Abaire, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of "Rabbit Hole," "Fuddy Meers," and "Good People," has put forth in the quirky comedy, "Ripcord." Full of hijinks and pranks, the fun doesn’t stop at the opposing personalities of Abby Binder and Marilyn Dunne. "Ripcord" pushes past the typical “Odd Couple” formula to present nuanced and interesting characters with the type of lived experiences that could only come from age. From sudoku to skydiving, the secrets among them will almost break these women while simultaneously solidifying their friendship. Coronado Playhouse on Facebook / Instagram

On January 21 & 22, coastal San Diego will experience a King Tide event, extreme coastal shifts of high and low water levels that occur when the orbits and alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun combine to produce the greatest tidal effects of the year. King tides, in particular, present a rare opportunity to explore the depths of tidepools which are typically underwater. Tidepools are diverse and important coastal ecosystems. The intertidal zone - the area between the low and high tide lines at the coast - can be a very challenging place to live. During high tide waves crash down repeatedly, while during low tide the creatures that cling to life in the small pools of water left behind are exposed to direct sunlight, predators, and curious humans. King tides, which occur 3-4 times per year, mark the most dramatic of all tidal swings. During this exciting event, the ocean conservation group, WILDCOAST, will be on hand at La Jolla’s Dike Rock – north of Scripps Pier – as part of the Tide Pool Ambassador Program on Saturday and Sunday January 21 & 22 from 2-4 p.m. HOW TO BE A "GOOD TIDE POOLER" WILDCOAST’s conservationists and scientists will share information on these amazing ecosystems, and hand out guides relaying best practices of how to tide pool safely without harming the creatures and their homes. Tidepools provide shelter and food to over 125 species of marine creatures and serve as important nurseries for many ocean organisms. Due to their proximity to shore, these fragile tide pool ecosystems are often damaged by human interaction. According to the National Park Service, the tidepools at Cabrillo National Monument can see over 350,000 visitors each year which can cause harm to these ecosystems by trampling, turning over rocks, displacing both living and nonliving resources, and collecting intertidal species and shells. Additionally, pollution, development, and climate change threaten tidepools and their inhabitants. As part of its ongoing efforts to protect these vulnerable ecosystems, WILDCOAST has created the Tidepool Ambassador campaign aiming at engaging and educating the public on how to interact with tidepools to protect the critical ecosystems, inside and outside of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). MPAs protect and restore ocean habitats and increase the health, productivity, and resilience of ocean ecosystems – including tidepools. Inside these MPAs the removal of tidepool organisms is illegal. To continue to save and protect tidepools, WILDCOAST and Tidepool Ambassadors asks that visitors use good sense and follow “Good Tidepooler Rules” including refraining from removing animals, shells or rocks; not touching animals, walking carefully; and never turning over rocks.

Music inspired by folk traditions, with Irish Fiddle Master Winifred Horan. The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins of the violin octet designed and built by famed luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins. The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music. With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing palette of sounds. Come see this performance at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Encinitas on Friday, February 17 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here.
