We came back again because they were advertising their free admission online. What better pastime activity than to be viewing some great watercolor art by local artists. This spot is in Liberty Station, which is in general a hub surrounded by so many amazing things to view and see. This is a great free spot to go to in the afternoon (I believe they are only open 11am-3pm most days). You can park next to the building or in their lots. Planes fly overhead pretty often since you're near the airport. Inside, there's usually an activity you can do where you can cast a vote to which pieces are your top ones. You can see which pieces have the honor of being first place with the badges. The people at the front desk are always incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can spend a good 15 minutes here to take a look at each piece!

We weren't initially going to go in but the people at the front desk beckoned us in and with a warm smile and the word "free" we decided to come in. It was much bigger than we thought. Ended up spending about 40 minutes here as we looked at and immersed ourselves with the international art pieces that were on display this month. Every month there's a new exhibit and a competition (you get to vote for your favorite piece on a slip of paper and caste your vote in a box in the front of the business). There's two ish rooms with pieces on the dividers and on the walls. It's bright and airy place. Pieces are available for purchase and they range from 500 dollars up to 3k and more.

This was my first visit to The Studio, a gallery tucked away in Hillcrest, and I was genuinely impressed. They showcase a wide range of artists, and it's especially great to see so many talented creatives from San Diego getting the spotlight. The featured show we saw was by Lance Chung, whose work beautifully captures dancers in motion. His pieces feel like stepping into a dream or a fairytale. They are whimsical, expressive, and just plain mesmerizing. Beyond the main exhibit, the gallery opens up into multiple rooms featuring other artists, so you can wander and discover even more creativity. One artist showcased pottery and mentioned she hosts group pottery classes. Honestly, such a fun idea for a birthday or team event. All in all, it was an immersive and inspiring experience that I'd happily do again.

What I loved most is how beautifully this exhibition moves across time periods, genres, cultures, places and styles--welcoming and celebrating so many different people, perspectives and stories along the way. It's elegant without being stuffy. Sophisticated without losing its sense of fun. Thought-provoking, vibrant, unexpected and wonderfully eclectic. If you're in San Diego, don't miss this installation. San Diego County and Tijuana residents receive special $20 admission, older adults 55+ are $15, and visitors with disabilities receive FREE admission. Admission is also free for guests 25 and under, military, and SNAP/EBT cardholders.

This is a world-class contemporary museum.

They are also closed on many holidays, check the hours of operation before visiting. -They participate in Bank of America Museums on Us. Thanks to the friendly person at the front desk who mentioned this. -This museum is near La Jolla Cove which if you like birds, is not to be missed! The museum has three floors and nice outdoor areas including a restaurant. The museum overlooks an absolutely stunning coastline. They go a little overboard with recordings and staff asking patrons to stay away from the art (I get it, but geez!). Be ready for that, especially if you have kids. The Nick Cave fringy art is just too tempting for kids. I went to look out a window and was told to stay back, I mean really. They have a "calm room", and you might need to use that to calm down from being told to stay away from the art so much! Haha. I saw the Giants Alicia Keys exhibit which was great. The movie I could barely hear. They have tons of merch in the store for the exhibit, however I really wanted a t-shirt that was for the museum and not the specific exhibit, but they didn't have any.

I had accidentally happened up the website when I was searching for things to do in Encinitas. Upon entering the gate to park you are surrounded my beautiful native California plants and there were sculptures scattered throughout the grounds. The museum itself is a very beautiful and modern building We were not sure what to expect and let me tell you it is definitely not your normal museum experience. We were met by a dossier at the front and escorted inside. We bought our tickets and then were escorted into a large spaced that housed the art. What is really amazing about this museum is that they have the artist in residence. The art on display is by the resident artist. They come from all over the world and live and work at the museum for about a month and their art stays for about two months before a new artist rotates through. After we viewed the art work (some were still in progress!) we also were able to tour the actual residence of the artist. Very cool! Some of the artist even leave some of their pieces behind for the next artist staying there to enjoy. It was an intimate museum experience and was enjoyable. This place is a hidden gem! Current exhibit is by artist Lila Jang and her pieces are amazing.
