Exhibit on view November 10 - December 16. Responding to issues affecting our region, our Fall 2025 Museum Studies class has juried, curated, and installed "Reimagining La Linea", an exhibition about migration which highlights the work of thirty artists and two collectives. Migration has been a vital force in the shaping our country, and the San Diego/Tijuana region clearly exemplifies this: a diverse community alive with layered cultures, languages, and traditions from all around the globe. The border wall or “La Linea,” intended as an impenetrable boundary, also reveals itself as porous, with the highest number of lawful daily crossings of any other US port of entry. The artwork bears witness to the human condition at the border as well as to the journeys and dreams carried across it. The exhibition challenged artists to imagine an alternative future where boundaries are fluid sites of connection rather than division. The exhibit transforms the gallery into a space of empathy and imagination, where borders that divide us become bridges that connect us. Join us for the reception on Wednesday, November 12, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Artists will be present and there will be music by DJ Will Gallaspy, aka The Great Gallaspy.

What we need as writers is a whole-brain approach to planning our year (and our writing projects) that is visual, flexible, doable, emotional and takes advantage of our strengths and tendencies. This two-hour class will show you how to do things a little differently so you are more focused, balanced, excited, hopeful, and committed to your goals in 2026. We’ll work through the complimentary year planner you will receive and put our plans down in writing to get a head start on the coming year. This is an interactive, hands-on, make-it-happen session that sets you up to create space for writing, visualize your success, and build a plan that pushes you past the things that may have held you back in previous years.

The Coronado Public Library and the San Diego Writers Festival will host a series of writing workshops this Fall. Each focused on a different topic, writers both new and experienced will find new strategies to hone their craft. Writers who attend a workshop will have the opportunity to have the entry fee waived if they choose to participate in Acorn Publishing Debut Author contest (details available here). This month, attendees will learn tips to help get the word out on their work! From first to final draft, a writer works with a very select few individuals. All that changes as you near publication, and beyond. As a writer you now must market your work, and yourself. That’s a tough job. It can be even tougher when you’re an introvert. In this workshop you’ll learn your introvert type, and the natural abilities that come with that type. We’ll talk about how to use those hidden skills to grow your network and readership in a way that feels natural and comfortable. Extroverts welcome! This event will take place via zoom.
