Beautiful PB is bringing new life to a long-vacant mid-century modern building in the heart of Pacific Beach, with a vision to transform it into a vibrant center for the arts. While development plans move forward, the organization is launching its first-ever Summer Camp series at the PB Arts Commons—an outdoor gathering space located behind the future PB Arts Center at 4606 Ingraham Street. Registration is now open for programs beginning June 1. The Summer Camps offer a diverse lineup of creative experiences, including sewing, dramatic expression, technology, gardening, and fashion. Designed for youth ages 0–16, the series also features a “Mommy and Me” art-making workshop for younger participants and caregivers. “While we continue fundraising efforts to bring the PB Arts Center to life, we are excited to activate the PB Arts Commons with engaging arts programming for the community,” said Michelle Sexton, Vice Chair of the PB Arts Center. “Our vision of a shared space that connects artists, students, and residents will begin to take shape this summer.” Advance registration is encouraged: https://www.pbartscenter.org/summer-camps/ Community partners for the series include Creative Cornucopia, Clickbitz, and The Music Company. The PB Arts Commons is now open for community-centered programming ahead of full site development, offering a preview of what’s to come. Donations are welcomed to support the creation of this multipurpose arts venue. To contribute to the PB Arts Center capital campaign, visit www.givebutter.com/PBArtsCenter.

Tenor saxophone and highly inventive vocalist! Camille Thurman is a powerhouse multi-instrumentalist and vocalist whose fluid tenor saxophone work and inventive singing place her among today’s leading voices in jazz. Equally adept on bass clarinet, flute, and piccolo, she has performed with an extraordinary range of luminaries—from Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to Kenny Barron, Roy Haynes, Diana Krall, Chaka Khan, and Alicia Keys. A New York City native, she is a two-time ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award winner, a Fulbright Scholar, and runner-up in the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition. Thurman made history as the first woman in 30 years to tour full-time with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (2018–2020). Together with the Darrell Green Quartet, Thurman will bring a thrilling evening of world-class jazz brilliance. La Jolla Music Society on Facebook / Instagram
