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.

From the Athenaeum: The 23rd Athenaeum Summer Festival is a series of four of concerts that will feature pianist Gustavo Romero. For 22 years, the Athenaeum has presented unforgettable festivals featuring virtuoso pianist and San Diego native Gustavo Romero performing the complete piano repertoire of a specific composer. Whether you have been with us all 22 years or have yet to experience the wonder of this artist—who plays from memory—you will not want to miss our upcoming 23rd Summer Festival. Romero, a native San Diegan, first performed at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library as a young boy, and it was with him that the Athenaeum planned its first Summer Festival in 1999, the organization's 100th anniversary. Each year, Romero chooses composers to study in depth, sharing the full range of their artistry. Dinners are offered after each concert at the Athenaeum. The dinners, offered immediately following each concert in private homes or at the Athenaeum, are an opportunity for concertgoers to socialize, meet Mr. Romero, and share a delicious meal.
