Artists like Quadra, Dark Friends, Christian Hell, Kole Galbraith and more will perform, and in the courtyard, there'll be art and zines from a bunch of vendors, including San Diego Zine Fest. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Stay Strange, San Diego’s exclusive noise-music collective, will once again curate Checked Out: An Experimental Music and Art Festival at the downtown Central Library on Saturday, October 15.

Art Scene West Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of works by varied artists. Mediums include canvases, sculpture and wearable art. Joshua Rios is a featured artist at the Creative Artists Showcase. Balanced energy, colorful textures, and sporadic intention. These elements live within Joshua's oil paintings to present a bold display of contemporary artwork. Likened to the striking styles of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Jackson Pollock, each painting represents the experimental process that has defined Joshua's artistic journey since he started 13 years ago. From taking risks and never fearing to fail, Joshua's own art syle begins to emerge, beckoning his name with each brush stroke. This exhibition is representative of a fresh energy and excitement in the Solana Beach Design District, where Art Scene West Gallery is promoting local art creation and collaboration.
