In 2011, SDVAN continued to work tirelessly to arrange collaborations and to showcase talent in the SD region. This year we presented the SD Art Prize recipients at Art San Diego Contemporary Fair at the Hilton Bayfront where we sold $22,000 in art on the opening night. We have a new alliance with the Athenaeum Art and Music Library in La Jolla for group shows of the award recipients. The New Contemporary IV exhibition of emerging artists was held at Alexander Salazar Gallery.

The wonderful Art Meets Fashion promotion had 11 teams each one with an artist, a fashion designer, an educator, and a documenter to record the collaboration. The resulting products were featured at the first ever fashion show at the SD International Airport as well as boutiques and galleries in Northpark, the NTC and Downtown. Over 1000 people attended our public launch for this project at the NTC. There were more than 45 Fringe events on the theme of art and fashion being crossed promoted, an online competition, a show for the artists involved, a mannequin project and Jeans4Justice component.

We are now raising money to continue our work to promote the visual arts in San Diego with the DNA of Creativity., which will fuse the energies of the art and science communities.

Money given to SDVAN is money given to help the visual arts in the entire region of San Diego prosper and be recognized as the vibrant and creative resource that it truly is.
