Imperial Beach hosts approximately 90,000 attendees from Imperial Beach, and surrounding south bay and international communities. The free fireworks display provides a safe way to celebrate the national holiday! The Imperial Beach 4th of July fireworks will be shot from the IB Pier, beginning around 9 p.m. Best viewing is on the beach from Imperial Beach Blvd. to Palm Avenue, facing the end of Portwood Pier. So bring a picnic or grab a snack from neighboring businesses, then spread your beach blanket early to claim some space and catch all the action. Help keep this tradition alive. It is community events such as this that have built the ties and bonds we share with our friends and neighbors. The 4th of July Fireworks show is part of the fabric that is Imperial Beach and helps foster community pride. Visit: https://ibparksandrec.org/578/4th-of-July-Celebration

Los Angeles-based artist Shirley Tse (b.1968) works in sculpture, installation, photography, and text. She deconstructs our world of synthetic objects that carry paradoxical meanings and constructs different models in which differences might come together. Various strategies of visualising heterogeneity are used: conflating different scales, fusing the organic with the industrial, crossing between the literal and the metaphorical, merging different narratives, and collapsing the subject and object relationship. Tse received a Master of Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena and Bachelor of Arts degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong Department of Fine Arts. Tse represented Hong Kong at the 58th Venice Biennale. Her work is featured in many articles, catalogues, and publications including "Akademie X: Lessons in Art + Life" (2015) and "Sculpture Today" (2007). Tse received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 2009 and is on faculty at California Institute of the Arts since 2001 where she is Robert Fitzpatrick Chair in Art.
