Located above the Flower Fields,<a href="https://artwalksandiego.org/carlsbad/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ArtWalk Carlsbad</a>is back for its 7th
year, bringing fine art, live music, and interactive art experiences – free to attendees. In a venue overlooking the ocean, guests can explore different facets of art, while enjoying beautiful coastal views.
The weekend-long festival focuses on fine art for sale by local artists, as well as those who travel from all over the U.S. and Mexico to show and sell their work. The event will display every medium of art, including painting, sculpture, glass work, fine jewelry, photography and more. More than 150 fine artists’ work will be featured, along with interactive art for families at KidsWalk, a full palette of musical performers, food trucks and stands, and more. 
This fine art show is part of the ArtWalk San Diego brand known for bringing together all facets of the arts throughout San Diego, while promoting the experience of owning original art. Each of ArtWalk San Diego’s festivals support their non-profit partner, <a href="https://www.artreachsandiego.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ArtReach San Diego</a>, a nonprofit organization aimed at increasing equity in visual arts education in K-8 schools throughout San Diego County by delivering free or low cost workshops to schools that have no other resources for art, focusing on Title I Schools.
