Making Waves: Summer Art Series

Making Waves: Summer Art Series

Our second event of the Great Highway Park Summer Art Series is happening this Saturday June 29th 11-3pm at Judah! Curated by @sarahgrimmstudio, Making Waves is an art exhibition of long-time Sunset community artists who make compelling visual works grounded in a concept that they hope will ripple outward to benefit society. They also make waves in the community in other ways, creating spaces and programs that enrich the conversation we have about being better humans and stewards of the coastal environment.

Making Waves will coincide with the Wagon Float Parade, so be sure to catch both! This event, like everything at The Great Highway, is open to the public and wheelchair accessible.
