2001 ARTWALK EXHIBIT IN SALON TONIC

ArtWalk 2002 will kickoff Saturday April 27 and continue through Sunday, April 28, from noon to 6 p.m. daily. The 18th ArtWalk is set exclusively in the charming Little Italy neighborhood of Downtown San Diego. The event is free and open to the public.

Highlights of ArtWalk include hundreds of emerging and established artists, musical performances and Little Italy restaurants, bars, and shops that will offer flavor to the expected 60,000 attendees of the event.

An array of diverse artists will participate in this year's endeavor to enrich San Diego's art community, representing a variety of mediums from traditional oil on canvas paintings to the annual Refrigerator Art collection and mixed media sculptures. 

Of the hundreds of artists involved in ArtWalk 2002, Tijuana artist Norma Michel has been selected as the 2002 Featured Visual Artist.  Michel's paintings communicate reality altered by imagination.  The results are expressions in color and form that provoke an interest and appreciation of living moments: love, nostalgia, waiting, and life itself.

With thousands expected to attend ArtWalk again this year, parking will be at a premium. For easier access, attendees are being encouraged to take the Trolley.

If you have an interest to host an artist or list your business in the map, please contact us at 619/615-1090.  For additional ArtWalk 2002 information: www.artwalkinfo.com.

Commencing March 2nd and running during the first Saturday of each month for the remainder of 2002, (10 times), the Association will be sponsoring a "Mercato Sabato" or Saturday Street Market.  The Mercato will be held in the heart of the business district, on Date Street between India and Columbia Streets, and run from 9am to 5pm.  The purpose of the monthly Mercato is to target residents in a five mile radius from Little Italy to come to this street market for unique goods and services, while

simultaneously exposing the retailers of Little Italy to the Downtown community.  This is another important step to bring public activity to the streets of Little Italy.

If you are interested in being a vendor at one of these Mercatos or would like more information on the event, please call Frank Busalacchi at the Little Italy Association Office at 619/233-3898.
