Based out of sunny San Diego, Gypsy Sally is a three piece blues band that brings the old school feel to the new age from blues, to rock with the occasional Bossa and Latin twist. Front man Kyler Jakubowski has utilized his North Carolina roots and over the years has created a very unique blues sound not heard since the 50’s, Austin Wagner links the rhythm and melody with his smooth motown influenced James Jameson style, and Martin Quezada holds the beat on drums with his Caribbean swing, all of which when brought together creates what is now known as the one and only Gypsy Sally. To date, Gypsy Sally has recorded one album, "How Long," recorded live in the studio with Alan Sanderson. Gypsy Sally is named after a bar in the song "Tecumseh Valley" by Townes Van Zandt. Apart from Van Zandt, the band is influenced by classic blues artists like B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, and Peter Green. However, in addition to the blues, the band also draws influence from the vocals of Sam Cooke, and the rock guitar of Rory Gallagher.

2023 SDSU Grad Award Exhibit Marinta Skupin’s paintings and drawings probe our relationship with the natural environment. Among the imagery referenced in her work is that of the San Diego landscape. Skupin combines it with language and scientific data in order to examine how we know the world around us. In addition to being inspired by physical features of the natural world, Skupin’s work is informed by her reflections on the history of landscape painting and on issues such as extinction and the predicted climate apocalypse. The title of the exhibition is a quote from the following passage, written by David Benioff and spoken by Brad Pitt’s character in the 2004 film Troy: “Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.” This is Skupin’s first solo exhibition and is the result of a partnership between Art Produce and San Diego State University, through which Art Produce makes an annual award to one student in the University’s School of Art & Design for an exhibition.
