The prize has been around since 2006, dreamed up by the San Diego Visual Arts Network, primarily using a mentorship model with two outstanding emerging artists linked with two established artists to create work together. In 2020, the split between emerging and established was set aside, and the four finalists that year (Melissa Walter, Kaori Fukuyama, Alanna Airitam and Griselda Rosas) all agreed to share the honor rather than wait for one winner to be announced, setting the new precedent. I've been following each of the four 2021 artists, and my most recent feature is on Beliz Iristay, who calls Mexico, San Diego and Turkey home — read it here. You can also learn about the way Panca draws on myth and her Tijuana street art roots to invent her own disruptive, vivid and weird narratives. Or read about the way Crosthwaite plays with folklore in his murals and how he uses stop-motion animation to bring portraits, drawings — and his process — to life in my feature here. Artist Perry Vásquez is also having a big month — in addition to showing works in the Art Prize exhibition, he will also open a solo show at Sparks Gallery, "Oasis." All told, he'll be throwing some 75 to 80 works into the world this month alone. I'm especially fond of Vásquez's massive palm tree paintings, including some of them on fire (timely!). He told me that in painting these trees, they become almost sentient. "The format suggests a kind of human-type scale, the anthropomorphic quality. So I feel like I'm painting portraits. I feel like they're very individual," Vásquez said. Watch for my feature on his work next week. Each artist has been busy installing works at the gallery, including a mixture of new works and murals plus older faves we may have seen before. At Saturday's opening reception, stick around for a performance by The Color Forty Nine. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Sign up for the KPBS/Arts newsletter here.

From the gallery: Mt Helix artist Duke Windsor will exhibit new artwork in a solo exhibition from Sept. 21, 2021, through Nov. 8, 2021, at the Encinitas Library, located at 540 Cornish Drive in Encinitas. An Artist’s Reception will take place during Art Night Encinitas on Saturday, Oct. 16 from 6–9 p.m. On view in this exhibit are illuminated contemporary urban and cityscapes, contemporary still life series, and sculpture. Windsor’s Urbanscapes have been exhibited and received awards at juried exhibitions, group shows throughout the U.S., and are held in many private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. He has produced numerous commissions and military historical works. Windsor works in a variety of mediums including pastel, oil, acrylic, watercolor, linocut block prints, and, most recently, plaster and concrete casted sculptures. Duke states: “My paintings express the wonder and power of light, and I’ve always been drawn to the golden sunlight of Southern California. This professional artistic journey began in 1994. I was walking through alleys on my way to martial arts practice, I noticed how the sunset glowed through the buildings. The golden shafts of light in contrast to the vibrant blues of the shadows greatly influenced my work. I found new inspiration from the radiance of the sun. The reverence and visceral experience I felt from the luminance of traditional Icon works further inspired me. In the art world, gold leaf techniques are often considered merely decorative art. My goal is to advance gold leaf as a contemporary medium.” About the opening reception: Enjoy an evening of visual art on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, from 6-9 p.m., as Encinitas civic and local art galleries swing open their doors at Art Night Encinitas. The event celebrates the city’s diverse visual art scene at 7 participating locations and is free to the public. Enjoy live music, refreshments, and shuttles to all locations.
