The pride display at the Rancho Peñasquitos library branch is filled with books again, after two anti-LGBTQ+ protestors checked out everything on the shelf.

Rick Cervantes is excited to bring back the Hillcrest Community Ofrenda this year! Last year, he created this altar at the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag as a space to not only honor his brother who lost his life in 2016, but to celebrate the lives of all of the community members and loved ones who are no longer with us. The first attempt in mid-October 2022 got destroyed overnight, so we decided to rebuild it on Halloween with Benny Cartwright recruiting some amazing community volunteers to stand watch over it 24 hours a day for three days. We’ll be doing this again this year, setting up starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31 and keeping it up through Thursday, Nov. 2. Everyone is welcome to bring photos or mementos to add to the ofrenda. Want to volunteer to help watch over the ofrenda so it's not destroyed or tampered with? We'd love your help! Sign-up here

From the gallery: On the evening of November 16, Quint Gallery will host UK-based artist Eric Snell for an in-situ revival of a performance which originally took place in 1986 in which Snell draws a spiral on a wall using the smoldering ash of burning wood. For this iteration, the artist will source wood from one of the city's proliferation of eucalyptus trees, which arrived in San Diego from Australia after the gold rush of 1849. Performance: Nov. 16.
