From San Diego weekend arts preview (KPBS feature): Artist Katherine Brannock described her "Someday Mouse" project on Instagram as "uplifting cuteness," and it's hard to top that. As a solo exhibition at Thumbprint Gallery in La Jolla, Brannock will showcase dozens of drawings of her "Someday Mouse" character, all stills from a short film featuring the mouse character made famous in her "The Adventures of Someday Mouse" books. Brannock draws the mouse with a mesmerizingly fine dot-shading method, and the mouse finds itself in adventures both wild and mundane, exuding hope, quietness and optimism, which is something incredibly soothing and pleasant. You can try to understand the who/what/when/where/why of the mouse here. Save the date: Brannock will also show an exhibition of an entirely different series later this month at Trash Lamb Gallery, opening July 23. Details: Opens 5-10 p.m. Saturday, July 9, 2022 and is on view through Aug. 6. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment. Thumbprint Gallery, 920 Kline St., La Jolla. Free. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Thumbprint Gallery on Instagram Thumbprint Gallery on Facebook Someday Mouse on Instagram

On Friday, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria unveiled next year’s city budget, signaling a shift away from pandemic emergency planning. Next, antiviral treatments to help fight serious COVID-19 disease were once very hard to access. But now as COVID-19 cases start to decrease in San Diego, are there enough doses? After, Sempra Energy, the parent company of San Diego Gas & Electric, paid out its highest profits ever to its investors Friday. Some SDG&E ratepayers might be wondering if there is a connection to the massive spike in bills they’ve paid in recent months. Then, KPBS arts reporter Beth Accomando speaks with San Diego Comic Fest’s new president Alonso Nunez about the fest events happening this week. Finally, award-winning pianist Jeeyoon Kim is debuting a mixed-media concert to coincide with the release of her new album this week.

Two-term incumbent Serge Dedina is leaving Imperial Beach’s top political office to return to his environmental activism roots.

In collaboration with So Say We All, the Hausmann Quartet presents "Seven Last Words", a performance of Joseph Haydn’s epic masterpiece alongside spoken word presentations of original works by the authors themselves. The texts will be inspired by the same scripture upon which Haydn based each of the movements of his monumental work, The "Seven Last Words" of Christ. Originally commissioned for a Good Friday service in 1783, it was adapted for string quartet by the composer and has since become a treasured Easter-time tradition around the world.

Aspiring artist and UCSD visual art student Heather Rosati is hosting an art event, showcasing local San Diego artists. This art show is a public event being put on in partnership with The San Diego Made Factory. Alongside the work being showcased by the gathered artists, The San Diego Made Factory will host their open studio day for their tenants. There will be a bar, live music, and food! The theme “Letters to You” was created to explore the text’s role in art. Not only must we consider who the viewer, or reader is, with such pieces, but we must also question the intention, the “why?”. Valentine’s day is a day of love and expressing that to one another. This is a day filled with much letter writing and much vulnerability. Around this holiday is the time I began exploring the theme of letter-writing, and the intimacy behind it. I found it to be an interesting fit for a body of work, circling back to the questions of whom/what is one creating/writing for, and why. Date | Saturday, April 30 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Location | San Diego Made Factory This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit hmrcreates.com or call the venue at (619) 817-5517.

The Eras Tour film is precisely as advertised: nothing more and nothing less than a pristine recording of a record-shattering concert spectacle. But will it really be a savior for the cinema industry?
