Craft/Art: Craft Brewing and Visual Arts
CRAFT/ART was created to showcase two of San Diego’s most dynamic communities on the international stage: craft brewing and visual arts. The event is timed to coordinate with Preview Night of the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con so as to allow creative professionals and visitors to interact with local attendees. Event sponsors include IDW Publishing, a national publisher of art books, comics and comic strip collections, and Craft Beerd, a prominent designer of San Diego craft beer art & apparel.
CRAFT/ART will feature live sketching by some of the top artists in the arena of comics and entertainment. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase original sketches as well as bid in a silent auction for donated art, books, and merchandise items.
CRAFT/ART is free and open to the public; however a suggested $5-10 donation can be made at the door. All proceeds from the event will be donated towards youth scholarships for the Media Arts Center San Diego’s annual Summer Youth Media & Tech Camp. Media Arts Center San Diego, based in San Diego’s North Park community, promotes access to film and video as tools for community self-expression and social change and supports the professional development of media artists.
