This July, Sparks Gallery will transform into a collaborative space to showcase several other San Diego galleries under one roof in a short-term take-over of Sparks Gallery. Sparks Gallery owner Sonya Sparks explains, “Our aim through this collaborative pop up is to bring together a diverse community of local arts agents into a unified, collective effort to showcase the full range of talent that each gallery represents. Think of it as a mini fair. Because we usually hold a takeover event for Comic Con each July, and Comic Con was cancelled for the second year in a row, we wanted to pull our art community together during this difficult time.” This in-person exclusive event (not available online) will adhere to current state and city regulations at the time of the event. RSVPs are required for opening day here: https://sparksgallery.com/rsvp?eid=28242
