Get Paired with a Business for La Jolla First Friday Art Walk
SDAD is partnering with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association to create new opportunities for local artists during the monthly First Friday Art Walk.
This is a simple idea with real impact: we match artists with local businesses that want to be part of the Art Walk. Instead of only galleries showing work, we open up shops, offices, and unexpected spaces across the village. More places. More visibility. More chances to be seen.
What This Opportunity Is:
The First Friday Art Walk is a free, monthly event that brings consistent foot traffic through La Jolla Village. Visitors walk between galleries, museums, and businesses using a shared map, stopping in along the way.
Through this collaboration, artists can:
- Build relationships with local businesses
- Show work outside of traditional gallery systems
- Reach new collectors and clients
How It Works:
