PARTICIPATE
Be Part of Mission Fed ArtWalk!
For 40 years, Mission Fed ArtWalk has celebrated both visual and performing arts in San Diego. We believe art has the power to connect communities, cultivate new artistic talent and create a better quality of life for all through cultural enrichment.
Thousands of attendees come to view and purchase artwork, enjoy live music performances, and participate in interactive art experiences. Little Italy is an ideal backdrop for this two day festival. The open air event features enhanced cleaning protocols, and participants are asked to abide by any public health guidelines that are in effect at the time of the festival.
All ArtWalk San Diego events benefit our arts education non-profit partner, ArtReach. The organization brings high quality art lessons into schools that have no other resources for art education. Since 2007, ArtReach has served more than 30,000 students, county-wide.
Artists
Mission Fed ArtWalk is Southern California’s longest running and largest fine art festival, filling more than 15 blocks of San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood with art of all kinds. This is a juried fine art show and the selection process looks at a variety of factors, including technique, authenticity, quality of artwork, professional booth display, and art mediums represented. The deadline has passed for fine art artists to apply through Zapplication.org.
Performers
Each year, Mission Fed ArtWalk invites dozens of local music acts to showcase their talents on stage at one of our many performance areas. If you’re interested in the opportunity to perform in front of thousands of attendees at any of our annual events, please apply!
