SDVAN Monthly Message for Jan 2021
As we all plan our individual celebrations of the season, I urge you to take a drive around your neighborhoods and look at the amazing array of lights signaling hope in the new year. Lonnie Burstein Hewitt and Maurice has done so and created a story to Brighten Your Nights with Holiday Light Art. The annual SDVAN State of the arts concentrates on our creative industry and how it has been impacted by the pandemic in State of the Arts 2021: San Diego Creative Industry by the Numbers . This month's banner is in support of Compassionate Youth Concerned with Mental Health, Zoom Discussions on Sat/Sun Jan 9/10th, 2021 will cover 4 topics: Coping with Anxiety and Worries, Overcoming Depression and Hopelessness, Diversity, Inclusiveness and Equity, Understanding Autism each with a 1 1/2-hour session that has been prepared by youth ambassadors, guidance counselors and compassionate lead artists “Art can express beyond words and heal hearts.

Artists need to participate in our discussions.” - Kira Carrillo Corser, Co-Founder of Compassionate Arts in Action and Posts for Peace and Justice national projects. Produced by Compassionate Arts San Diego , Youth are invited to join in the live zoom discussion or streaming live on Facebook at Compassionate Arts/Posts for Peace and Justice .

If you know a young person who is suffering from anxiety, depression, bullying or autism, please encourage them to participate in the Jan 9/10 Compassionate Youth Concerned with Mental Health, Zoom Discussions. The isolation and fear and tension that our youth is exposed to right now makes them too often silent victims of the pandemic. SDVAN Monthly Message for February, 2021
Dear SDVAN Visitors, Art Resources and Artists, It is very hard to say good bye to a dear friend and great supporter of the arts. RIP Patti K. Cooprider 1940 to 2021. “Patti achieved something every artist desires, to be remembered; so kind, generous and charismatic. Patti was the whole package. Her many Patti-art filled cards will continue to sparkle like stars in the sky.” Patricia Frischer. Our condolences to her many friends and family.

More info Linda Mariano 408 718 3730 SD Art Prize 2021 is now a memorial to our committee member and dear friend Larry Baza. Larry was a beacon of hope at a time when we in Southern California seemed poised to step up and be recognized for the excellence of our programming and the quality of the art in our region. We think memorializing him in this small way will be one of the many honors bestowed on Larry and carried on in his name.

We are crushed from the news of the passing of Larry Baza. Earlier this month he was said to be in “tenuous but stable” condition in hospital fighting COVID-19. We urged everyone to send positive energy his way but this was just not enough. Larry was the most tremendous art supporter in all of San Diego and he rose to the highest position in the state as Chair of the California Arts Council. Closer to home he made sure that the Pride Parade had pride of place, ran a sales gallery with his longtime companion Tom Noel and had just joined our SD Art Prize committee. Saying he will be missed does not touch the hole this leaves in our hearts and our homes and our organizations.

On Thursday, we can eat with friends who are also vaccinated with no masks. We will still be washing our hands, wearing masks, and social distancing outside. Until number go further down we will stay in semi-lockdown. But there does seem to be a sunset and cocktail with friends at the end of the tunnel! Arts Advocacy Week is April 19-23 . Hundreds of advocates will meet (virtually) in Sacramento to illustrate the creative industries and artists impact on our economy and wellbeing, and to meet directly with elected officials to encourage them to support increased public funding for the arts and legislation and policies that are pro-arts, arts education, culture and the creative sector. We hope you will engage in advocacy and for you to be inspired to participate but you must sign up with Californians for the Arts. Raise your voice for the arts and join us for advocacy week April 19-23 by becoming a delegate. Attend ACCM Virtual Convening – April 27. The keynote speaker is our own Todd Gloria!
