“Edgeless: In the Expanded Field of Painting” brings together four Southern California-based painters whose process incorporates a blend of traditional and nontraditional media as both material and surface. In this exhibition, artists cut, stitch, burn, dye and fire their materials, creating the suggestion of a painting, while also incorporating strategies of sculpture, installation, or performance to work inseparably alongside the act of painting. The exhibition is curated by Jacqueline Marino. Artists in the exhibition include: Anna Betbeze, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, Monique van Genderen, Lizzie Zelter SDSU School of Art and Design on Facebook / Instagram

A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and highly awaited sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS (a boldly autobiographical body of work due out May 29), the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in Country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from Alt-Pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting.

Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase.

"Becoming Heirlooms": A Craft Desert exhibition curated by Kerianne Quick and Adam John Manley in conjunction with Handwork 2026, a Craft in America initiative. Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, 2026 | 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. On view August 24, 2026 - November 7, 2026 "Becoming Heirlooms" examines the extra functional power of craft and art objects, not merely as artifacts, but as tools for gathering, witnessing, and remembrance. Expanding the notion of “family” beyond bloodline or inheritance, the exhibition embraces broader forms of collectivity—chosen families, cultural lineages, ideological kinships, and experiences—that serve as touchstones for our shared existence. At its core, "Becoming Heirlooms" considers the moment when a crafted object transcends authorship and utility to become a site of collective feeling—when an artist’s intention resonates beyond the individual viewer and ignites a shared emotional consciousness. These works become gathering points for empathy, reflection, and recognition, binding communities through the realities of the world they inhabit together. Featuring new works by: Diana Benavidez, Matt Hebert, Michael Hernandez, Soyeon Kim, Christine Lee, Anna Mayer, Kaiya Rainbolt, Phil Rowland, India Thompson, and Georgina Treviño.

Writing can often feel isolating. However, theatre is definitely a team sport. You don’t have to create in a bubble. In this class, you will get to hear selections of your play out loud so that you can assess if your dialogue, pace, and plot are working. These are things that are difficult to do in your own head. Join award-winning Playwright and teaching artist, Gill Sotu, as we share each other’s work and get valuable weekly feedback to get your short or long form play into shape to submit for readings or productions around the country. This workshop will be limited in size, and the focus will be on playwriting. Novice to experienced writers are encouraged to join. San Diego Writers, Ink on Facebook / Instagram
