Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring?

We will present a special panel conversation on Aging and Cancer for the San Diego community. Join us as we take a deep dive into the connection between aging and cancer and learn more about a current breast cancer research collaboration. One in eight women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, occurring mostly in women who are 50 years old or older. We’ll share the cutting-edge cancer research we do at Sanford Burnham Prebys that’s guided by clinical practice, and how patients can reciprocally benefit from our laboratory discoveries.

New Art Gallery Coming Spring 2025 The Kruglak Art Gallery is closed for the fall semester as we await the opening of our brand-new gallery, which will be located within the new Media Arts Center, adjacent to the Art Department. In the meantime, the Art Department is planning fall art events. The first event will be an exciting virtual art exhibit that will be available for viewing on the Kruglak Gallery website in the fall, please watch for announcements of other art events. Through My Lens // Virtual Art Exhibit The practice of the artists in this show is diverse and runs the gamut from historic processes to experimental digital systems. “Through my Lens” features the art of Chris Ferreria, Lauren Greenwald, Aaron Pedro, and Benjamin Poarch. Ferreria works both in color and black and white. He uses both abstract and representational imagery to explore and understand the tensions between the public and private dimensions of identity formation, and perception in society. Greenwald is a visual artist working in photography and video, using a range of traditional and contemporary methods to explore landscape, perception, and the experiential. Pedro is deeply attuned to his surroundings. The ocean, in particular, is his greatest muse. Photographing the ocean at dusk, he uses long exposure techniques to emphasize the movement of waves and clouds. Through photo-compositing, blending portraiture with landscapes and seascapes, he creates photographs that evoke both emotion and conceptual art, offering a new perspective on scenic photography. Poarch uses a unique process to create his images called a tintype. A tintype is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal. Also included will be work created by Tim Faris, CJ Heyliger, Bekkah Walker, and Patricia Zambrano. Visit: https://www.artdoc.photo/online-exhibition/through-my-lens
