The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) announces "The Dean Collection Presents: Hometown Heroes," a new exhibition opening April 18, 2026, alongside "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys." To celebrate San Diego’s creative community, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys approached MCASD with the idea of spotlighting local artists from the Dean Collection to accompany the run of "Giants." MCASD collaborated with the Deans to organize "Hometown Heroes," which will feature photographers MJ Pimentel, Oscar Cruz, and Chata, drawn from the Dean Collection, in dialogue with selected works from the museum’s permanent collection by regional artists Andrea Chung, Esteban Cabeza de Baca, and Fox Maxy. Works by Pimentel, Cruz and Chata capture facets of life in San Diego with images that speak to the encroachment of gentrification, a longstanding history of Chicana/o/e activism, lowrider car culture, and community pride. With an eye towards the natural environment, Chung’s cyanotypes of lionfish shed light on the enduring effects of colonialism, while Cabeza de Baca’s layered painting and Maxy’s sculptural video installation point to the cultural and ecologic forces that have shaped the U.S. /Mexico border region. This exhibition celebrates San Diego’s artists and histories born from a recent acquisition made by The Dean Collection. "Neighborhood Visualz," an exhibition showcasing film photographs by Cruz and Pimentel, was on view at Por Vida, a coffee shop and gallery in Barrio Logan, when Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) paid a visit and decided to purchase the entire show. This is in line with the Deans’ unique approach to collecting that centers on forming personal relationships with artists and amplifying voices that have been historically underrepresented. This MCASD exclusive exhibition centers Black, Brown, and Indigenous experiences at a critical time. As the first "Giants" venue incorporating both English and Spanish labels, MCASD continues to further their commitment to highlighting the work of Latino/a/e artists in the broader San Diego community and beyond. Local traditions will also be incorporated into the run of "Giants," starting with a performance and blessing by Danza Mexi’cayotl—one of the oldest and most respected Chichimeca-Azteca dance groups in San Diego County—to kick off the exhibition’s opening celebration. "Hometown Heroes" is curated by MCASD Associate Curator, Amy Crum, and will be on view April 18 through Nov. 8, 2026.

Lavande Vitality House, a community-focused wellness destination centered around healing, connection and personal transformation, will celebrate its grand reopening on Friday, August 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. following an extensive renovation that introduces new healing spaces, an organic café, an expanded outdoor sanctuary and enhanced experiences for the community. The free grand reopening celebration will invite guests to experience the newly transformed space through live music, 14 local pop-up vendors, mini tarot readings, healing sessions, giveaways, food and beverage offerings, and opportunities to connect with Lavande’s community of healers and facilitators. The event will include a special talk from founder Krystia Rae beginning at 1 p.m., where she will share the vision behind Lavande, introduce members of the wellness community and celebrate the next chapter of the space. Guests can reserve their spot in advance through Lavande Vitality House’s event calendar. The first 50 registered attendees will receive curated wellness gift bags featuring crystals, self-care products and other local offerings. The renovation marks a new chapter for Lavande Vitality House with thoughtfully designed spaces created to support healing, reflection and connection. The refreshed property now features a rose quartz healing room, three elevated healing rooms for one-on-one sessions, and a new outdoor sanctuary complete with an outdoor shower, soaking tub for sacred bath rituals, infrared sauna, firepit and quiet zone designed for moments of rest and renewal. At the center of the renovation is the new rose quartz cave, a community-created space infused with intention and collective energy. During the renovation, community members contributed personal prayers, love letters and messages of hope that were placed into a time capsule within the room. Guests also contributed crystals carrying their own intentions, which were incorporated into the space as a symbol of shared connection and collective healing. Lavande’s expanded offerings also include a new organic café serving thoughtfully crafted, whole-food options designed to nourish the body and mind. The menu features signature beverages such as the Blueberry Dream Latte and Salted Maple Cloud, along with grab-and-go meal options soon to be available, including smoothie bowls, toasts, soups and small bites with vegan and gluten-free options. “Our vision for Lavande has always been to create a space where people can reconnect with themselves, find community and experience healing in a way that feels authentic to who they are,” said Krystia Rae, founder of Lavande Vitality House. “This reopening represents the next evolution of that vision – a place where people can come exactly as they are and leave feeling more connected, inspired and empowered.” Lavande Vitality House aims to redefine what healing can look like by creating an inclusive environment where personal growth, beauty and transformation are accessible to all. Following the reopening, Lavande Vitality House will continue offering healing sessions, workshops and community events designed to support guests on their personal wellness journeys.
