Located above the Flower Fields, ArtWalk Carlsbad is back for its 6th year, bringing fine art, live music, and interactive art experiences, offered free to attendees. In a venue overlooking the ocean, guests can explore different facets of art, while enjoying beautiful coastal views. The weekend-long festival focuses on fine art for sale by local artists, as well as those who travel from all over the U.S. and Mexico to show and sell their work. The event will display every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, glass work, fine jewelry, photography and more. More than 150 fine artists’ work will be featured, along with interactive art for families at KidsWalk, a full palette of musical performers, food trucks and stands, and more. The event will be fenced, even though admission is free; the fence allows attendees to enjoy beer and wine (to those 21-years and over), while strolling around the event, rather than having to remain in a Beer Garden. New this year, there will be a pavilion, sponsored by Wilsey Asset Management, to offer shade for the warm early fall weekend. It will be located in the middle of the event, adjacent to the Beer Garden and midway music stage, providing some additional seating.

"Breaking Into New Hollywood: Minari" (Q&A with costume designer Susanna Song) Fashion fans and aspiring costume designers: come join our 5th anniversary screening of "Minari"! The film will be followed by a conversation between "Minari‘s" costume designer Susanna Song and "Breaking Into New Hollywood" co-author Ada Tseng.

She combed through old family photo albums to capture the textures, colors and silhouettes of that era.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career in the fashion industry before discovering her passion for costume design at the Falcon Theatre (now the Garry Marshall Theatre). Song went on to design for music videos, commercials, and films, before joining the costume teams of TV shows including "The Goldbergs," "Schooled," "American Horror Stories" and "Afterparty" en route to becoming a TV designer in her own right.
