San Diego’s answer to Art Basel may not be internationally iconic—yet—but it’s definitely mastered the successful artfest formula. Now in its sixth year, Art San Diego showcases the best of regional contemporary talent and beyond alongside the bacchanalian mingling of the scene’s longtime luminaries and bright young things.
The four-day fair, held Nov. 6-9 at Balboa Park, will feature more than 50 local, national and international exhibitors. But this is no mere knockoff. Art San Diego offers unexpected collaborations between cutting-edge artists and institutions, not to mention wine tastings, intimate meet-and-greets, a first-dibs collector’s preview and a VIP party.
