The California Center for the Arts, Escondido, in collaboration with Persian Place, presents Nowruz – Persian New Year, marking the arrival of spring and the beginning of the new year in Persian culture. Observed for more than 3,000 years across diverse regions and communities, Nowruz remains a time of renewal, reflection, and connection. This gathering reflects a shared commitment to honoring cultural traditions that continue to hold deep meaning for our local community. While many Persian organizations across the United States have paused public programs in response to the current situation in Iran, the Center and Persian Place believe it is important to sustain spaces where heritage, artistic expression, and community can be experienced together. The afternoon will feature live performances, a Women’s Artisan Market, arts and crafts, a kids exhibition, food, music, and free admission to the public opening of the new exhibition, "Maryam Bayat: Unrolling Paradise." This event is free and open to all. Event sponsored by Cosmic Solar & Roofing.

Art has long been a way for people to carry pieces of home with them — across borders, languages and generations. Join Daylight San Diego for Making Home: How Immigrants Use Art to Find Belonging, a conversation with artists Josue Baltezar, Victor Castañeda H, Fernanda Gaspar and Amara Sengamphan about how creative practices help immigrant communities build identity, connection and a sense of place. This event marks the launch of the Daylight Culture Club, a new series of arts and culture gatherings designed to bring people together to learn, create and connect. Each event will feature conversations with artists, cultural leaders or creatives, along with time for participants to make art together in a welcoming, community-centered space. Following the panel discussion, guests will be invited to stay and craft in community. Some craft supplies will be provided, and attendees are also encouraged to bring their own projects — whether that’s knitting, drawing, collage, embroidery or another creative practice — and work alongside others. Daylight will hold the event at Doh Doh Coffee, a small business run by Karen refugees, where art created by and for their community is featured. The goal is simple: create a space where people can talk about art, make art and build community together. Tickets are available on a sliding scale at $5, $10 or $15. March 28 1-3 p.m. Doh Doh Coffee, 5591 University Ave., San Diego, CA 92105 Space is limited, so reserve your ticket today to secure your spot. Additional details, including panelists and crafting activities, will be announced soon. Want to support this event?

Developers say there's plenty of water for a giant data center in southern New Mexico. Some locals are skeptical.

Recent polling suggests it’s unlikely that two Republicans would lock Democrats out of the November gubernatorial election. But some liberal activists are still panicking about the possibility of a MAGA governor. Their solution could delay California’s already slow ballot-counting.
