Because of a Halloween boost, "Thriller" helps Jackson hit some major chart milestones.

Put on your boots and come aboard for an up-close country music experience with Michael Ray, the artist behind chart-toppers like “Think a Little Less” and “Whiskey and Rain.” With the San Diego skyline glowing and the strum of guitar strings in the air, this isn’t just a concert — it’s an up-close country experience set against iconic city views from the Bay. Expect a laid-back evening with all the right touches: an intimate setting, a full buffet, open bar, and stripped-down, storytelling sounds straight from the heart. You'll feel that unmistakable connection that only comes from hearing country music live. And if you’re looking to make the night even more memorable, VIP upgrades get you closer to the music, plus a meet & greet with Michael himself. Kick back, raise a glass, and get lost in the music.

A Weaving Workshop with Rebecca Smith Join us as creative weaving artist Rebecca Smith leads a two-day workshop in the technique of inlay, a process for weaving pictorial and geometric designs on a loom. In this workshop, participants will weave designs simultaneously with the sheer, transparent background or ground cloth. When the finished piece is hung, light travels through the background cloth to frame the design, which remains opaque. Students can bring their own designs and yarn or use the materials Rebecca provides. If students need a loom, they can rent an Ashford table loom from San Diego Creative Weavers Guild which measures 30″ deep and 24″ wide. Students must be a member of the Guild to be able to rent the looms. Guild membership is $35 per year. The workshop is intended for weavers who are familiar with the workings of a 4-harness loom or rigid heddle loom. Students should arrive with a warped loom; instructions for warping the loom will be sent in advance. Students will need to purchase 16/1 linen yarn warping their looms (cost is $20 per ¼ pound cone; sources will be provided). The instructor will provide specifications for materials needed and will send warping requirements to students prior to the workshop. The instructor will provide a selection of yarns to supplement what the students bring and will provide designs for the students to follow as they weave. Students can also bring their own designs if they wish. Visions Museum of Textile Art on Instagram
