From the mountains to the bay, the Sweetwater valley is an ideal location for plein air painting. Plein air painter Alfred Mitchell started the Chula Vista Art Guild over seventy years ago to document the flora and fauna of South Bay San Diego. The museum organizes a yearly exhibition celebrating plein air painting and through Lumiere de California we celebrate the artist and their ability to capture this spectacular light.

The California Education Code mandates art, music, theatre and dance be offered to every student, yet less than one-in-five public schools today have a full-time arts and music teacher. That could change with a proposed state ballot measure that would guarantee funding for arts in public schools. Meanwhile, a new state law requires that all food waste be composted rather than sent to landfills. A composting specialist calls the new law a much needed "kick in the pants" for cities and counties that have not been doing this in the past. Plus, in what many are calling a surprise victory, an Indigenous woman was found not guilty on federal charges of blocking border wall construction in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
