"You cannot look at these photographs without feeling the love, joy, and pride in every picture and profession . . . a unique tapestry of stories, waiting to be shared." (Mark Cafferty, CEO, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation) We're impressed by the resilience of Artisan Businesses. We wanted a creative way to tell their stories, while celebrating their work. So here is "Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker" - a photography exhibit that invites conversations about supporting local small businesses. The gallery is now open in downtown San Diego at UCSD Park & Market, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. We're showcasing butchers from Valley Farm Market and The Meatery, bakers Hija del Maiz and Astra Bakehouse, and candlemakers 1502 Candles and Moo Lala! This installation explores the question - how do artisan businesses thrive in San Diego (which Architectural Digest just named America's "most expensive city")? Rebecca Smith and TJ Carter are the collaborators of this installation.

"Cups to Connections: Global Gestures of Hospitality" embraces the art of hospitality and how the act of sharing a drink has the extraordinary power to bring people together, fostering a deep sense of community and belonging. Highlighting a wide range of global traditions, the objects in Cups to Connections tell the stories of heritage and craft from across time and cultures. Hospitality is the bridge that forges connections – each custom unique, yet the act of inviting others to join for a beverage, a universal language. This exhibition is presented in collaboration with The House of Pacific Relations, a consortium of houses located in Balboa Park representing 31 cultures – bringing various cultural groups together to foster and cultivate a spirit of understanding, tolerance, and goodwill. Visit the houses on Saturdays and Sundays to experience a meaningful cultural connection, with the opportunity to sample authentic food and beverages from every corner of the globe.
