The San Diego River Artists’ Alliance (SDRAA) will exhibit work celebrating the many stories of the San Diego River and its ecosystem in a show titled “One River, Many Stories” at Grossmont College Hyde Art Gallery March 24 - April 24, 2025. The opening reception is on Tuesday, March 25 at 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Meet the artists again on April 10 from 2-4 p.m. A portion of the sales will be donated to the San Diego River Park Foundation (SDRPF). The San Diego River Artists’ Alliance (SDRAA) is a collective of eighteen visual and 3D artists dedicated to spending time along the San Diego River from its source in mountains near Julian to the ocean. Time and experience along the river create the stories the artists retell in their artwork, celebrating its history, beauty and promise. SDRAA encourages the public to connect with the variety of experiences available along the river. Twelve artists will display work at the Grossmont College Hyde Art Gallery. The artists include Joan Boyer, Sue Britt, Cathy Coverley, Gloria Chadwick, Vicky DeLong, Kenda Francis, Jodie Hulden, Natasha Papousek, Susan Osborn, Janet Wytrych, Kathryn Gail Ackley, and Louis Russell. The work includes acrylic, photography, mixed media, glass, watercolor, oil, fiber arts and paper. The exhibit continues in the Patterson Window with seven cyanotype scrolls by Louise Russell. One scroll is the river’s voice and the others are storytellers voices. SDRAA is working alongside the San Diego River Park Foundation (SDRPF) to support its long-term vision of creating a 52 mile park system the length of the river. SDRAA began in 2021 and has participated in several SDRPF events such as RiverFest and sponsored hikes.

In partnership with UC San Diego Professor Steven Schick and Red Fish Blue Fish, the percussion ensemble presents the West Coast premiere of Douglas J. Cuomo’s "THE JUMP UP!", a site-specific piece directed by Mark DeChiazza, shaped to accommodate the specific topography and features of its location. All the musicians will move through the space during the piece, first offering the audience a wide panoramic perspective that gradually gathers towards the audience as the performance goes on. At the finale, the players merge into the audience, who will be invited to join into the musical fabric by clapping or vocalizing (as instructed on the fly by Sandbox Percussion) to form a single communal orchestra. Described as “exhilarating” by the New York Times, the Grammy-nominated ensemble Sandbox Percussion champions living composers through its unwavering dedication to contemporary chamber music. Composer Douglas J. Cuomo has composed for the concert, operatic and theatrical stage, a well as for television and film, including the themes for "Sex and The City" (HBO); "NOW" with Bill Moyers and Wide Angle (PBS); music for "Homicide: Life On The Street" (NBC). Presented as part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WOW Festival. Visit: 'The Jump Up' ArtPower at UC San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
