ArtWalk @ Liberty Station Returns To San Diego For 12th Year This August 12 & 13

July 14, 2017

The 12th annual ArtWalk @ Liberty Station is back with a new theme "Liberate Your Senses" and will be held on Saturday, August 12 & Sunday, August 13 in the Arts District at Liberty Station. From the same team that brings Mission Federal ArtWalk to San Diego’s Little Italy each year in April, this free weekend-long event offers fine art, food, live entertainment and excitement for all ages.

"ArtWalk @ Liberty Station will be celebrating its 12th year and we are delighted to host our fine art festival at one of San Diego’s premier arts and culture venues," said Sandi Cottrell, ArtWalk San Diego’s Director. "Artists of all mediums will be taking over the beautiful rose garden in Ingram Plaza to showcase their artwork to seasoned collectors as well as first-time fine art buyers. We create a festive, beautiful setting, so that attendees can enjoy browsing for art and the interactive art activities surrounded by natural beauty."

Over 200 international, national and local San Diego artists will be featured at ArtWalk @ Liberty Station. Attendees can view and purchase every medium of art including painting, sculpture, glass work, fine jewelry, photography and more. The arts festival will also include live music, an interactive KidsWalk for families, street food options, and a wine and beer pavilion benefitting ArtReach - a nonprofit that has provided free art classes to over 20,000 students who wouldn’t normally have access to art programs in San Diego County.

New to this year’s event will be an interactive activity put on by Artist & Craftsman Supply were attendees can create a vibrant mixed media artwork project they can take home. Using watercolor paper from Shizen, Marabu Art Sprays, and stencils, attendees can create any design layering colors to let the creativity take over.

ArtWalk @ Liberty Station will be held at Liberty Station’s Ingram Plaza, located at 2751 Dewey Road in San Diego's Point Loma area. The fine art festival will run from 10am until 6pm on August 12 and 10am until 5pm on August 13, and attendance is free.
