About the Event

Join us for a night of local vibes, cool creators, and live art at the San Diego Made Factory. San Diego Made: LIVE! returns Saturday, October 17, from 6–9 p.m. at the San Diego Made Factory. It’ll be a night celebrating the artists, makers, creatives, and small businesses that make San Diego Made what it is.

Explore the Factory, watch artists create in real time, and get a peek inside the studios and creative spaces that our artists and makers call home. We’re also excited to collaborate with the City of San Diego’s Artist Incubator program for a special evening of art, performance, movement, sound, and creative activations featuring:

Miki Vale — Hip-hop, theatre, sound, performance, writing, and community-based storytelling

Miguel Galvan — Contemporary dance, hip-hop, street dance, and movement

Joe Cantrell — Sound, media, installation, performance, and visual art

Cathy Carey — Contemporary Color Expressionist painting, mixed media, and community engagement

Alexandra Carter — Figurative painting, installation, and mixed media

Together, these artists represent a wide range of creative practices, perspectives, and ways of experiencing art.

DJ Bootsy Bolaños will be bringing the cumbia vibes all night long and guests can take home a surprise piece of art created by artists from across San Diego through our Artist Mystery Bag Wall. Proceeds from the Mystery Bag Wall and bar sales will go directly toward helping our Factory tenant Darell of Amoi Candles purchase a new wheelchair. Every donation made toward Darell’s wheelchair fund will come with complimentary poke appetizers from Itsrawpoke while supplies last.

We’ll have delicious food from Tres Marias and drinks from Compagna Creativa, with a portion of bar proceeds supporting Darell’s wheelchair fund.

Come celebrate the arts, support local creatives, explore the Factory, and experience everything San Diego Made: LIVE! has to offer. Art. Music. Community. All under one roof.
