Go see some great art!
SD Practice, an art initiative launched last year by the Commission, purchased nearly 100 artworks from local San Diego artists and if you would like to see these art pieces before they are dispersed throughout the city, they will be on view at the San Diego Art Institute and Bread & Salt from July 10 to September 5.
