In 1986, Scotsman Donnie Macdonald and Irishman James Keigher came together to perform Irish and Scottish folk music, combining traditional and contemporary styles. The name Men of Worth was chosen from the title of a folk song written by the Scottish singer-songwriter Archie Fisher. Together, Men of Worth blend their voices with harmony and support their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments. They have a very simple approach to their presentation, and in keeping with tradition, remain true to the music and the story. Their show is a unique combination of humor, exciting tunes, and soulful, heartfelt ballads. Men of Worth are an international act, and have earned much respect and success in over thirty years of touring together. Performing concerts and festivals, with twelve albums to their credit, Men of Worth continue the very tradition from which they have evolved.

UBS is proud to again serve as presenting sponsor for Art San Diego 2024, continuing its support for cultural endeavors around the world and affirming its commitment to using contemporary art to bring together ideas, inspiration, and innovation. As the premier contemporary fine art fair in Southern California, Art San Diego returns to the San Diego Convention Center November 1-3, 2024 with exhibits showcasing works by prominent international, national, and local artists. Art San Diego, produced by Redwood Art Group, features immersive fine art experiences and exhibitions that showcase the thriving art and design landscape. Featured programs include two VIP receptions for collectors and art lovers, the LOCAL TALENT Program and the San Diego Selects Art Recognitions. 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.

What would you do if someone offered you more money than you've ever seen to do something worse than anything you've ever done? It all starts when a man named Charlie wanders into the quiet midwestern town of Hope Springs one clear autumn day. Some believe Charlie is an angel but he sure stirs up one devil of a mess. Who is Charlie and what is he up to? This Christmas, travel back to 1940’s America, the Swing Era. Presented by the award-winning North County Players, "Hope Springs, Eternal" uses the music, sets, and costumes of the time, along with humor, drama, and twists you won't see coming, to tell a story not only of deceit and corruption, but also of redemption and the meaning of Christmas itself. "Hope Springs, Eternal" is written by master storyteller and nationally published playwright Charles Carr ("Passage Into Fear;" "Old Dogs, Dirty Tricks;" "All the Time in the World"). Carr’s shows, which feature modern plotting and pacing, have been produced all over the country. "Hope Springs, Eternal" is told in the familiar style of beloved classics like "A Christmas Carol," "Miracle on 34th Street," and "It's a Wonderful Life." Shows take place in our intimate 100-seat Studio 1 Theatre. With great seats as low as $20, tickets are priced more like a movie than traditional theater, to enable as many as possible to experience the special wonder that is live theater. "Hope Springs, Eternal" is just the ticket to get you and your whole family into the holiday spirit! Visit: https://artcenter.org/ California Center of the Arts on Instagram and Facebook
