September is Arts Month in San Diego

I used to paint water colors when I was in high school and college, and I still have an appreciation for the visual arts. During September, the visual arts are front and center:

• September 2-5 — Art San Diego Contemporary Art Fair. Hilton San Diego Bayfront. There will be more than fifty galleries showcasing paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, videos, and multimedia works. There will be guest speakers, special cultural programs, wine and food, and a special VIP opening night event.
