Artful Afternoon in Del Mar Connects Students to Free Art Lessons Throughout San Diego County Paused since the onset of the pandemic, Party ARTy is back by popular demand. This beloved fundraising event hosted by ArtReach brings together art lovers, community members, and ArtReach Artists for an unforgettable afternoon of celebration. Mark your calendars for June 8th, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. as this highly anticipated event promises an inspiring mix of art, entertainment, and philanthropy to support ArtReach’s mission of making visual arts education accessible to all. Party With a Purpose ArtReach has designed an afternoon that, though a fundraiser, will feel like a celebration of inspiration and creativity with friends. Attendees will enjoy a stunning Del Mar home, dine on a selection of three different paellas, see student artwork, and have the opportunity to create art with the ArtReach Artists that lead in-school programs, mural collaborations, and community art-making. Guests may try the always-popular Ring Toss, where the toss of a ring may become a bottle of fine wine to take home, or bid on stellar experiences and signature items through live and silent auctions. All proceeds translate into free programs that connect youth with artists and art-making. “The past few years put this event on pause, but our community has been asking for its return,” says Sarah Holbach, ArtReach Executive Director. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring "Party ARTy" back! It’s an afternoon where guests can immerse themselves in creativity, make art alongside our team, and most importantly, directly support our mission - providing youth in under-resourced neighborhoods with free opportunities to create, express themselves, and connect with professional Teaching Artists who help bring their stories to life through art.” Since 2007, ArtReach has connected over 86,000 youth to visual arts education. The support of individuals, foundations, businesses, and events like this one help make these life-changing connections possible.

In the '90s, the wall was a canvas for graffiti artists in Southeast San Diego. Last year, three childhood friends reunited to bring it back to life.

Kick off your weekend with a bite-sized happy hour version of our renowned Studio Arts workshops. Using pourable fluid colors to create spontaneous mixing of pigment with the manipulation of the canvas we will create flowing “cosmic” compositions. All levels of experience are encouraged to participate. OMA provides food, drinks, and supplies; all you have to do is get yourself out of work, grab your friends, and have fun!

President Trump posted a video that shows a vessel speeding through waters before it appears to be struck by a pair of missiles from overhead and sink in a fiery explosion.

The late Robert Redford will be remembered for his many movie roles. But he also leaves the artistic legacy of the Sundance Film Festival, which nurtured generations of independent filmmakers.

The setting is London during the 1930s, where Jessica Medlicott, once a great stage actress who is now a wealthy widow, is being sued for “breach of promise” by her ex-fiancé, a handsome, much younger Naval officer. Desperate to protect what is left of her Depression Era-ravaged estate, she turns to highly-respected barrister Sir Arthur Granville-Jones to defend her in court, apparently not remembering that he was a former lover. Sparks fly when Sir Arthur agrees to take Jessica’s case, despite her insistence that they have never met, as she is the only woman the confirmed old bachelor has ever loved. This is a Weekly Recurring Event Runs from July 18, 2025 to Aug. 17, 2025 and happens every: Fridays: 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Saturdays: 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Sundays: 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Visit: https://powpac.org/ PowPAC on Facebook
