Mission Federal ArtWalk April 27, 2013

Mission Federal ArtWalk, the largest fine art festival in the Southern California region, enters its 29th year with a 17-block footprint in the urban neighborhood of Little Italy. Founded by artists, Mission Federal ArtWalk is a welcoming venue for art collectors and visitors to meet and interact with artists, and provides the opportunity for visitors to discover the inspiration behind each artist’s work. The 2013 event’s inviting urban outdoor setting signals the arrival of Spring in San Diego.

Mission Federal ArtWalk is an outdoor exhibition of original fine art from an array of different genres including paintings, sculpture, photography and more. More than 700 artists apply each, with about half selected to participate. Exhibiting artists represent California and beyond, and from as far away as Sweden. Items on display are available for purchase directly from the artist with an expected price range of $50 to above $15,000.

The festival also celebrates San Diego’s diverse performing arts with an extensive lineup of music and dance performances, including Dance on the EDGE, a curated dance venue within the event featuring more than 20 dance groups.

Families are invited to bring their kids to enjoy KidsWalk, a special area at the event offering more than 15 hands-on art activities provided by regional non-profit organizations such as children’s museums, performing art schools and art instructors.
