Access to Art Philanthropic Program – When a House Becomes a Home Through the Access to Art program, launched in 2018, UBS and Art San Diego partner to provide select charities and the communities they serve with educational and marketing opportunities in art, design and business development. This year brings a returning collaboration among Monarch School, Humble Design San Diego, and local artists from ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station. Attendees will enjoy a special collaborative installation from the non-profit partners, be able to purchase artwork created for the Access to Art program by the students, and learn more about how each team makes the San Diego community a better place to live. Created by students and families from Monarch School, working in collaboration with professional artists and designers from the Access to Art partners, the program this year interprets how a house becomes a home when it is filled with imaginative design and art that means something to its occupants – a concept familiar to all art collectors. The exhibit features juxtapositions of texture and design, symbolic shapes, and three-dimensional objects. All artwork is available to take home by making a suggested donation to the Monarch School Project, with proceeds going directly to this community of students impacted by homelessness. “San Diego Selects” Recognition Program Returns Returning to the art fair post pandemic, the San Diego Selects program welcomes three local arts administrators and advocates to walk the fair on its first evening and choose five pieces that will be awarded “Best in Show” for 2024.
