Get More Bang for the Buck
Arts and Culture: Entertainment That Has Value
By Toni Robin
Arts and culture lovers can get more Bang for their Buck by searching out all the great entertainment values available 12 months a year. Visitors can experience innovative, diverse, energetic and entertaining arts and culture without breaking the bank. From the stages and museums of Balboa Park to our schools, parks, cultural centers and even street fairs, San Diego art is inspired by everything from Shakespeare to César Chávez. Our unique region, located so close to the border, contributes to a variety and quality of offerings that is astounding. From traditional art forms like music, theater, dance, opera, puppetry, visual arts, film, science and history to out-of-the- box creativity like graffiti art, spoken word and even magic, there is something for every taste, style and age group. Whether you want to see a major musical on its way to Broadway at half price, check out a contemporary dance performance or discover public art along the ocean front, you’ll find all you need at a great value. Any exploration of arts in San Diego should certainly include a self guided tour of our many interesting and varied public art projects. Everyone likes to have an opinion about public art but there is one aspect that cannot be debated. It’s free! From painted utility boxes on city streets to Urban Trees along the harbor and from a tribute to surfing in Imperial Beach to a campus wide tour of contemporary sculpture at UCSD…art is everywhere you look. Arts and Culture provide more sizzle, awe, excitement, beauty and more BANG for your buck!
