Local artists and galleries in El Cajon are coming together to host the 14th Annual Alley Cat Art Walk. This free, family-friendly event promises fine art, live entertainment, boutique vendors, and more along Main Street and Rea Avenue. Hosted by the art galleries, studios, museums, and small businesses in the historic Downtown El Cajon district, the Art Walk is a yearly celebration of the city’s flourishing creative scene. Along with special gallery shows, attendees can explore interactive art displays, artisanal craft booths while enjoying live music, beer on tap, and other entertainment. With all venues within walking distance, it’s easy to shop, discover new artists, and take in the range of artistic styles and mediums. Arts Alley will have many exciting new exhibits on display for the event. A highlight will be Sophie’s Gallery’s latest show "Passageways: Sea Life," which explores ocean life and experiences living by the coast, with pieces made from donated, upcycled and reimagined materials. The show includes mosaic fish and seascapes, beaded sea creature sculptures, wooden buoy wind chimes, aquatic-inspired accessories, and more. More must-sees down Arts Alley include "Summer Triptych" at SC Fine Art & Framing, an immersive exhibit featuring three distinct artistic voices exploring nature, social connectivity, and speculative futures. The Olaf Wieghorst Museum will display "The Etchings of Olaf Wieghorst," 27 original etchings from 1937-1940, including one original etching plate. The museum is also sponsoring the Alley Cat Art Walk Passport, highlighting participating businesses and galleries. Once attendees visit each business and get their Passport stamped by all, they can return to the museum to enter a raffle to win a special Olaf Wieghorst print. Other special exhibits include Bronze Sculptures at White Sage Gallery, Animal Portraits & Paint Parties at Rich Artist Studio, "Resilient Spirits" by Charlene Mosley at East County Art Association, and Eiffel Tower Paintings by Sophie’s Artists at Rob's BrewPoint.
