New this year
The Fully Expressed Foundation, a non-profit that provides workspaces and business planning to emerging artists, will host a fundraising event in the wine and beer garden. They’ll spotlight two musical acts with drinks and food available for attendees. Tickets can be purchased in advance and for sale outside of the wine and beer garden before the event starts.
All profits raised at the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival benefit underfunded programs such as art, music, science, physical education, technology, and on-site medical care at the five La Jolla public elementary, middle, and high schools.
