Miramar National Cemetery's Memorial Day service is free and open to the public, and honors those who gave their lives for our country as part of the U.S. Armed Services.

They call it the perfect city. With surf, sand, and superb weather, millions of visitors flock to San Diego every year. This oasis at the crossroads of desert and sea is a natural marvel and boasts the highest diversity of plants and animals of any other county in the contiguous U.S.

Join us on Free Third Thursday, March 20 for the free public opening of our newest exhibition, An Artful Life: A Tribute to Matthew C. Strauss.

Chaired by Anna Haudenschild Meier, Jennifer Nelson, and Alex High, The Avant Garde Ball invites you to celebrate the fusion of art, music, and fashion in a way that San Diego has never experienced before. Save the date—Saturday, May 3, 2025—for a night of self-expression, where art extends beyond the gallery walls and MCASD transforms into a living runway. Guests are encouraged to let the works of contemporary art inspire their Avant Garde attire—fashion as bold, captivating, and expressive as the pieces on display.

Please note: The Avant Garde Ball is a 21+ event.
