For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Sparks Gallery is pleased to once again host an exhibition of select artwork by members of The Allied Craftsmen of San Diego. Allied Craftsmen continues to be a major influence of contemporary craft and art in San Diego.

Allied Craftsmen members pursue their inspiration through an innovative process and unconventional design using materials such as wood, clay, metal, glass, wire, fabric, gold, and silver. The group defines its acceptable mediums for membership as: “any serious craft.”

JFG's Building Resilience pop up museum stems from the Community 1,000 Cranes project that invited everyone to create an origami crane in hopes to reach a total of 1,000 cranes together to promote recovery, solidarity, and resilience during the initial stay at home orders that began in March, 2020. This pop up museum is designed to activate a public space outside of Balboa Park by bringing JFG demonstrations and exhibits as well as locally partnered programming in an accessible manner to promote cultural exchange.
