It is targeted to people in San Diego County with a dream of a business they want to start, or who have launched an early-stage venture and need some guidance and insights. It also features top faculty from local universities, subject matter experts and successful entrepreneurs over six consecutive Saturday mornings starting on September 9 and ending on October 14. This bootcamp is an initiative under the Urban Poverty and Business Initiative (UPBI), which is a collaboration among over 30 universities and non-profit organizations globally, working together to help individuals in underserved communities start and grow sustainable businesses.

From the museum: For Dear Life is the first historical survey of artistic responses to sickness, health, and medicine broadly. The show is informed in part by MCASD’s position in San Diego County, a hub for health science research as well as biotech and pharmaceutical industries. In the past decade, the art world has witnessed an explosion of artistic activity surrounding issues of illness, disability, caregiving, and the vulnerability of the human body. Set in motion by the emergence of movements for disability justice, this activity accelerated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet since the 1960s, artists have negotiated and deflected the medical gaze, creating works that assert agency in the face of medicalizing labels and that highlight the role of care in producing new forms of community and healing. Increasingly, artists have come to locate illness and disability not in individual bodies, but as part of a web of interconnected societal, environmental, and historical conditions. Funders For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability is organized by Senior Curator Jill Dawsey, PhD, and Associate Curator Isabel Casso. This exhibition is organized as part of Pacific Standard Time, an initiative of the Getty Foundation. Lead support and major funding for this exhibition and catalogue is provided by the Getty Foundation. All second Sundays and third Thursdays of the month offer free admission, with third Thursdays open for extended hours through 8 p.m. [Admission and hours details here.] Related links: Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego website | Instagram | Facebook

Opening reception: 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 19 About the exhibition: In his exhibition "The Magician Longs to See," photographer Peter Cochrane presents an alchemical tale about the natural world and humanity, using stories of life, death, and the human desire to preserve. Cochrane draws inspiration from indigenous plants in his home state of California and from the Athenaeum Music & Art Library’s own botanical archives. Darkroom prints and abstractions of roses, pine cones, and other local plantings recreate traces of life that once lived in and around the library, including the Torrey pine that stood as a sentinel for the building’s entrance, and climbing roses proposed by Kate Sessions for a 1921 garden renovation. Cochrane’s interest in horticultural and photographic histories also considers the optical manifestation of the alchemical pursuit—the transformation of lead into gold—through which, working with analog photographic processes, metals, and translations, the artist explores the materiality of elements across humanity’s attempts at preservation. Cochrane returns to his hometown of San Diego for his exhibition. The reception is open to the public. The exhibition will be on view through April 13, 2024. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday Related links: Athenaeum Music and Arts Library website | Instagram | Facebook
