Days of Books

Good Sunday, everyone.

I’ve been off Face-Too-Much for a month. I can attest that I’m not missing it.

So much more time, so much more art.

Today and this month, I’ll be posting important Arts and Culture events…repeatedly…hey, sorry, but these events matter and I hope you’ll attend. Just scroll on past if you’ve already registered/signed up.

February 24^th 09-1pm:

San Diego Art Matters is bringing back Creative Conversations, co-hosted with North County’s newly formed Arts and Culture Alliance, it will focus on the opportunities, challenges, and creative assets of rural and unincorporated communities across the region. Please attend! You won’t be lectured at; you will be listened to. Plus, you’ll have a great time.

The event is free, with RSVP required:

Event details:
Tuesday, February 24, 2026
9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (lunch included)
California Center for the Arts, Escondido

This past week I put in some serious time wearing my commissioner nametag for the San Diego County Arts and Culture Commission. We will be out in the County, meeting folks, listening to folks, applying your feedback as best we can. Each County District will host an event, starting next month in District 4 (think south), followed by District 3 (think North County Coast) in March, District 2 (think east county, Julian to way south) in April. All are open to the public no matter what County district you live or do business in. I’ll keep posting details as I know them.

Inspired By III is coming back to the Rancho San Diego County Library on June 3^rd, in time for the County-wide summer reading program. Below, a sample of what you’ll see there.
