"Arte As Resistance" is a fundraiser and celebration of art brought to our community from cultures around the world. All proceeds go directly to Todos Somos Migrantes (TSM), a nonprofit in San Diego, CA who works directly with the migrant community to ensure they are supported and aware of their rights as immigrants in this country. The event will begin with an art exhibition, after which the audience will enjoy a live performance of dance, music, poetry, and comedy. Art brings people together, instills us with resilience, power and hope. Art is a powerful change agent, starting with changing ourselves and our witnesses and rippling out to change the world. Art can provide a voice to our heart's deepest pain, joy, anger and truth. In this moment, it is crucial to uplift the voices in our community that have had the experience of immigrating to this country or have felt the love & bravery that this human right takes. For this reason, all artwork and performances are that of immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and first generation. We deeply value their work and hope that this collaboration within our immigrant community is celebrated and felt by all those in attendance. The performances will begin promptly at 7 p.m. Tickets to the event are scaled according to need. Please select that ticket price that feels right for you. All proceeds from tickets, concessions, and art go directly towards supporting our migrant community. **Please note, you must purchase a ticket to the show for entry. The *donation only* option is a contribution to the organization directly, and not a ticket for entry. Todos Somos Migrantes (TSM) supports migrants, whether they have just arrived or are already here. They facilitate family reunifications, connecting the community with legal resources that allow them to see family members they haven't seen in decades. Each week, they host food distributions for our most vulnerable communities and support all people who have suffered or are experiencing domestic violence, providing them with legal and psychological counseling, as well as access to education that will enable them to work or open a business.

The Ilan-Lael Foundation is opening its doors wider than ever with newly expanded docent-led tours, now offered every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 10 a.m. Previously available only during limited seasonal windows, the tours – now running through the end of the year –provide more access into the imaginative world of the late artist James Hubbell. Set on 10 acres of oak woodlands near Julian, the Ilan-Lael compound features Hubbell’s hand-crafted living spaces, studios, galleries, and gardens, each built in harmony with nature and infused with his blend of art, architecture, and craft. While Hubbell’s work can be seen throughout Southern California and Baja, Ilan-Lael remains the most immersive place to experience his vision. “James believed art should live in harmony with nature, and Ilan-Lael is where that belief comes to life. By opening our doors more often, we’re honoring his vision and inviting more people to share in it,” shares Marianne Gerdes, Executive Director of the Ilan-Lael Foundation. “We invite everyone, whether long-time admirers or first-time visitors, to come see what makes Ilan-Lael so extraordinary. There is truly nothing else like it.” Tours last approximately 90 minutes and take small groups through gardens, sculptures, and architectural landmarks, offering intimate insight into Hubbell’s creative process. Each small-group experience concludes at the on-site gallery and gift shop featuring Hubbell art, books, and artisan goods. Tours are $90 per person and can be reserved up to two months in advance at ilanlaelfoundation.org. Reservations are required and availability may shift due to private events.
