Join us for Winter MKT, a daytime vendor market in partnership with Part Time Lover, In Sheep's Clothing, and We Share Records. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is thrilled to announce the return of Winter MKT, a vibrant fusion of music and merchandise taking place on Sunday, December 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This curated selection of vendors from Southern California and the bi-national region will showcase the best in gifting for the winter season. All attendees will also receive free admission to the museum as it takes place on their Free Second Sunday. In addition to Japanese-themed records, food, drinks and goods, the event will feature a book signing with local artist Perry Vasquez from 2-3 p.m. According to Vasquez, “'25 Palm Trees in Paradise,' is a book that is not a book about a tree that is not a tree.” Its pages offer the viewer a survey of Vásquez’s “burning palm tree” paintings, created over the last ten years, that explore the palm’s many moods and manifestations.

When a police officer is found dead in her home with a bullet between her eyes, who investigates?

Both Ciara Estrada and her boyfriend were San Diego police officers. They went with friends to a New Year’s Eve party. Pictures from that night show the smiling couple. The next day, Ciara was dead … discovered on her bathroom floor with her gun in her lap.

Her own department investigated the death and quickly ruled it a suicide. Investigators, who were her colleagues, made no arrests. Identified no suspects.

But her family says there’s more to her story – tragic circumstances that should have prompted a more thorough investigation. They don’t think the police dug deep enough into the death of one of their own.
