We’re part of San Diego Design Week 2025! This year’s theme, Design for Impact, is all about harnessing the power of design to create bold, purposeful solutions that strengthen communities, spark innovation, and deliver lasting change. Join us for the "ReVision: An Inclusive Studio & Artmaking Experience" pop-up exhibition and be part of the region’s premier design festival. ReVision is a shared studio space that supports and centers disabled artists, and is built on the belief that everyone and everything has purpose. We are opening our Hillcrest studio on Saturday, September 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to invite you to participate in pop-up artmaking experiences inspired by our resident artists, see their work, and learn about our collaborative community projects like the Waterfront Park “Inclusion Mural” and “First Fridays” workshop series. Explore your own authentic, bold voice by trying selected art-making methods of our resident artists in our "_____________ by Design" pop-up exhibition, and discover their unique journeys with experience stations mirroring our signature peer-to-peer learning style. Collect references for your personal design practice of bold color and expressive mark making, purposeful re-use of unconventional materials, and the tactile, somatic experience of creation. Customize repurposed and recycled community materials with your own slogans and style, with the option to make and take.
