Celebrating 42 Years<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In April 2026, Mission Fed ArtWalk returns to Little Italy for the 42nd annual celebration of San Diego\u2019s rich arts and culture landscape. More than 250 fine artists will show and sell their work at this annual festival that brings every facet of visual and performing arts together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission Federal Credit Union<\/a> plays an enormous part in making this event possible and helping to keep it free to the public. We thank all of our sponsors <\/strong>for making Mission Federal ArtWalk for making this festival possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ArtWalk activities help to support the mission of ArtReach San Diego<\/a>,<\/strong> the not for profit organization that takes high quality visual art workshops into San Diego County schools, offering free programming to schools with no resources for art education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
