Artful Afternoon in Del Mar Connects Students to Free Art Lessons Throughout San Diego County Paused since the onset of the pandemic, Party ARTy is back by popular demand. This beloved fundraising event hosted by ArtReach brings together art lovers, community members, and ArtReach Artists for an unforgettable afternoon of celebration. Mark your calendars for June 8th, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. as this highly anticipated event promises an inspiring mix of art, entertainment, and philanthropy to support ArtReach’s mission of making visual arts education accessible to all. Party With a Purpose ArtReach has designed an afternoon that, though a fundraiser, will feel like a celebration of inspiration and creativity with friends. Attendees will enjoy a stunning Del Mar home, dine on a selection of three different paellas, see student artwork, and have the opportunity to create art with the ArtReach Artists that lead in-school programs, mural collaborations, and community art-making. Guests may try the always-popular Ring Toss, where the toss of a ring may become a bottle of fine wine to take home, or bid on stellar experiences and signature items through live and silent auctions. All proceeds translate into free programs that connect youth with artists and art-making. “The past few years put this event on pause, but our community has been asking for its return,” says Sarah Holbach, ArtReach Executive Director. “We couldn’t be more excited to bring "Party ARTy" back! It’s an afternoon where guests can immerse themselves in creativity, make art alongside our team, and most importantly, directly support our mission - providing youth in under-resourced neighborhoods with free opportunities to create, express themselves, and connect with professional Teaching Artists who help bring their stories to life through art.” Since 2007, ArtReach has connected over 86,000 youth to visual arts education. The support of individuals, foundations, businesses, and events like this one help make these life-changing connections possible.

San Diego New Music pitched the idea of a concert series devoted to modern music and 20th-century classics at the Athenaeum. The concerts of modern music perfectly complement the exhibitions of modern art held in the Athenaeum’s galleries. In 1996, San Diego New Music presented its first season. The series was called "Noise at the Library," and the ensemble would later adopt the name, as well. San Diego New Music and the Athenaeum have been happily co-presenting concerts of new music ever since. Get Tickets San Diego New Music on Instagram and Facebook
