By: Jennifer von Stauffenberg “Arts Month San Diego will bring together the finest visual and performing artists for an amazing month-long celebration. As this event grows, so will our arts community, and I know both will benefit tremendously,” Over this past weekend San Diego welcomed over 7000 visitors to the second edition of ART SAN DIEGO Contemporary Art Fair at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. In addition to the 47 galleries representing artists from all around the world, the fair also featured conferences, conversations and Art Labs that extended from NTC to Barrio Logan. This is only one event of over 40 that are planned for Arts Month. It is estimated that the combined events will bring over 200,000 cultural visitors to San Diego. “We believe passionately that arts and culture has the unique power to enrich our lives and bring economic vitality to our communities, so we are very appreciative to Councilman Faulconer and the entire city council for declaring September as Arts Month in San Diego,” said Ann Berchtold, one of the founders of Arts MONTH and Director of the ART SAN DIEGO Contemporary Art Fair. “ARTS MONTH SAN DIEGO” Proclamation ARTS MONTH SAN DIEGO / SEPTEMBER WHEREAS, in September “Arts Month San Diego’ will be held annually, which is an informal marketing collaboration made up of a wide variety of the city’s nonprofit and for-profit arts and performance entities under one umbrella.

WHEREAS, While there is no shortage of world-class art events, exhibitions and programming all year-long in San Diego, the impetus for naming September as “Arts Month San Diego” was due in part to the numerous arts-related festivals and events happening then (San Diego Film Festival, Art San Diego Contemporary Art Fair, ArtWalk on the Bay, the Art of Photography Show, among others). There are many other great exhibitions, events and programs happening during this time frame as well, which are listed on artsmonthsd.com. WHEREAS, Deeming one month as an Arts Month offers a promotional opportunity to bring both a local and national spotlight to San Diego as a city rich with arts and culture, and creates a sense of urgency for people to enjoy all that our local arts and culture organizations have to offer.
