La Jolla Art & Wine Festival The 2014 La Jolla Art & Wine Festival returns to La Jolla for its sixth annual season on October 11th and 12th in the heart of the village, on Girard Ave. This two-day juried art show and fundraiser has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the most prestigious art & wine festivals in Southern California. The La Jolla Art & Wine Festival is free and open to the public. Featuring the works of over 150 established artists from San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Baja and beyond, the LJAWF features something for everyone including a silent auction, roving entertainment, a gourmet marketplace, the family art center and a wine and beer garden which will include premier wineries in addition to San Diego’s top breweries. 150 WORLD-CLASS ARTISTS | The bustling area of Girard Avenue will transform itself into an art lovers paradise highlighting 150 established artists from the West Coast, Baja and beyond. Sue Britt, San Diego resident and winner of 2013’s prestigious “Best In Show” title, will return to showcase her brilliant Paper Tapestry, created through a technique of weaving and layering brightly colored papers to create gorgeous landscapes inspired by hiking throughout California. Additional LJAWF artists’ works celebrate a number of mediums such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media and photography. All of the artists showing at the LJAWF have been handpicked by a highly qualified jury of artists, authors, critics and collectors FOR THE KIDDOS! | Offering adventures for kids of all ages, LJAWF's Family Art Center will be located on Wall Street–where children will have the opportunity to paint a car donated by Witt Lincoln, be entertained by special performances on the Children’s Stage, and participate in games, crafts, and even a family scavenger hunt.
