SDRAA encourages the public to connect with the variety of experiences available along the river. Twelve artists will display work at the Grossmont College Hyde Art Gallery. The artists include Joan Boyer, Sue Britt, Cathy Coverley, Gloria Chadwick, Vicky DeLong, Kenda Francis, Jodie Hulden, Natasha Papousek, Susan Osborn, Janet Wytrych, Kathryn Gail Ackley, and Louis Russell.
