The Library's Autumn Concert Series takes place on Fridays from September 4 to October 23. Each concert will begin at 1 p.m. in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. On September 11, we will have Alex Guillen on the guitar, performing a range of flamenco, classical, and Latin standards. Alex Guillen grew up in Chula Vista in a Mexican-American household where music wasn't something you watched — it was something that happened. Spanish guitar at family gatherings. Mariachi at neighborhood celebrations. Boleros on the radio. He studied formally at Berklee College of Music. He trained with flamenco masters Diego Corriente, Manuel Valencia, and José Antonio Rodríguez. He worked with jazz guitarists Bruce Arnold, Larry Koonse, and Peter Sprague, and studied under Latin/world fusion pioneer Jorge Strunz and Latin jazz legend Chucho Valdés.

In the exhibition "A-dress: Power and Belief," artist Irma Sofia Poeter considers the dress as a sculptural language, a second skin where personal and collective narratives meet. Repurposing industrial textiles, recycled, and artisanal fabrics, Poeter creates dresses, capes and soft sculptures that trace how meaning is stitched into what we wear, and how the act of wearing becomes a form of expression. Here, the dress operates as both object and argument. It asks how identity is armored or softened, how beliefs are worn and sometimes unraveled. This creative approach to the garment reflects several decades of exploration by Poeter. We invite you to join us for the reception on Wednesday, October 7, 4 - 7 p.m. Meet the artist and enjoy refreshments. There will also be a conversation with the artist on Wednesday, October 21 at 6 p.m. October 7 also marks the premiere of "Insights into Art with Alessandra Moctezuma," a KPBS Explore digital arts series produced by San Diego Mesa College’s gallery director. Poeter is featured in the first episode, available on KPBS+ and the KPBS Explore YouTube page. Exhibit on view October 5 - 29, 2026. San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

Mexico in a Bottle, San Diego's best celebration of mezcal, tequila, Mexican craft spirits, food, art, music and more returns! Mezcal. Cultura. Herencia. Join us Sunday, October 4 at Bread & Salt Gallery for an afternoon devoted to the great spirits of Mexico. Sip your way through agave spirits while hearing the stories behind them — the producers, the process, the land. You'll also find Mexican whiskey, rum, gin, liqueurs, and more waiting to be discovered. Local restaurants bring the flavor to match, serving up bites paired with cocktails, while art and live music fill the room around you. Because this isn't just about what's in the glass. Every bottle holds a piece of Mexican culture — a living link to history, tradition, food, art, and music. Life and death, distilled. That's what we're here to honor at Mexico in a Bottle.
