Walks of Life is an original work of auditory theatre featuring short scenes by playwrights and composers from across the country. In the midst of a pandemic that fractures and isolates our communities, this aural experience offers the opportunity to safely and imaginatively reconnect with each other by bearing witness to life's intimate moments captured entirely in sound. Participants experience the piece while walking
independently through their own neighborhoods, and over the course of three 30-minute parts, they are introduced to characters and stories that might be unfolding in the homes around them.

The San Diego Watercolor Society is proud to present the 40th International Exhibition, being shown virtually from October 1-31, 2020 on The San Diego Watercolor Society website, www.sdws.org.  The exhibition represents the very best of watermedia art from around the world. Only 100 paintings were selected from almost 900 entries from 21 countries.  The exhibition was juried by award-winning artist, Michael Reardon.  Reardon commented that “it was very obvious from the start that judging the show would be a daunting task because there were so many extremely strong paintings.”  Please visit our Website starting October 1st to view and purchase the paintings as well as the Exhibition Catalog and to view the Opening Reception video.
