The San Diego River Artists’ Alliance (SDRAA) is a collective of eighteen visual and 3D artists dedicated to spending time along the San Diego River from its source in mountains near Julian to the ocean. Time and experience along the river create the stories the artists retell in their artwork, celebrating its history, beauty and promise. SDRAA encourages the public to connect with the variety of experiences available along the river. Twelve artists will display work at the Grossmont College Hyde Art Gallery. The artists include Joan Boyer, Sue Britt, Cathy Coverley, Gloria Chadwick, Vicky DeLong, Kenda Francis, Jodie Hulden, Natasha Papousek, Susan Osborn, Janet Wytrych, Kathryn Gail Ackley, and Louis Russell. The work includes acrylic, photography, mixed media, glass, watercolor, oil, fiber arts and paper. The exhibit continues in the Patterson Window with seven cyanotype scrolls by Louise Russell. One scroll is the river’s voice and the others are storytellers voices. SDRAA is working alongside the San Diego River Park Foundation (SDRPF) to support its long-term vision of creating a 52 mile park system the length of the river. SDRAA began in 2021 and has participated in several SDRPF events such as RiverFest and sponsored hikes.

A beloved teacher arrested for soliciting a minor. A coach convicted of sexual abuse. A school district hit with a multi-million-dollar jury verdict for failing to protect students.

Directed by Becks Redman A pandemic-era journey into family history. In this poignant and gripping drama, Rachel delves into her grandparents' World War II survival story while displaced during the pandemic. As she immerses herself in their experiences—escaping the Nazis and traversing the battlefields of Soviet Russia—Rachel confronts her emotional battles, especially with her non-Jewish partner. This play examines the hunger to understand family history, the complexities of survival, and the often-difficult truths that come with it—a timely exploration of intergenerational trauma and identity that resonates long after the final scene.
