A Foot Forward

September 29, 2024 - January 31, 2025

On site

A new exhibition is opening in the C3 Gallery in September. Join us as we take A Foot Forward: Art Knows No Boundaries into a future where inclusivity thrives and art becomes a catalyst for positive change. In this exhibition, our aim is to highlight the diverse talents of artists from Coronado, San Diego County and Tijuana, while also nurturing meaningful connections and fostering understanding across demographic boundaries.

By providing a platform for artists of all backgrounds to collaborate and share their stories, A Foot Forward aims to amplify diverse voices that may not always receive prominence in traditional art spaces. Through the universal language of art, we invite viewers to engage with narratives that challenge stereotypes, promote inclusivity, foster empathy and solidarity.

As part of the programming for World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024, A Foot Forward: Art Knows No Boundaries will feature diverse artwork from local and international artists, highlighting the intersection of design, innovation, and cultural exchange. The group show will be on view Sunday, September 29, 2024 through January 31, 2025 at the C3 Gallery in the Coronado Community Center.

We invite the public to attend the show opening on Sunday afternoon, September 29 at 4:30 P.M. and meet the 45 artists who are participating. The event will include food and wine from the region and live entertainment. Tickets are available for purchase on Eventbrite. Search A Foot Forward on their website.
