Art Alive 2017

It has been decided that I will start writing more blogs that will cater to a larger audience.  I will continue to do things I usually do such as attend art events, explore "Hidden San Diego", live in the ocean, and dance.  This time around, I will be making it more accessible for people via blog articles and videos.

With that said, I was invited by the San Diego Museum of Art to check out their "Art Alive 2017" event.  Here they pair different floral arrangements with different art pieces.  The most gorgeous centerpiece to the exhibition was the tree that was created to display all 4 seasons.

Below are the photos I have taken of the exhibition.  You can view my walk through video by clicking on this link.

So I took over Balboa Park....

For the very first week, I was given the keys to Balboa Park's instagram account.  They gave me full creative control of what appears on their feed....so I decided to go with portraits of performance artists.  I had an incredible amount of fun working with their collective of organizations that make up Balboa Park.  It culminated in an "Instagram Live" Dance Cypher.  It was such a joy working with them.  Instead of getting into the nitty-gritty of that, here is a recap of the photos that were posted during January 1 - January 7.

and also....you cannot overlook this boomerang of Bboy Nico that garnered over 3k views during that week:
