27 Years of Creativity at the Coast

The Carlsbad Village Association proudly presents the 27th Annual Art in the Village, a vibrant, free, one-day celebration of fine art, creativity, and community in the heart of Carlsbad Village.

About the Event

Transforming the streets of Carlsbad Village into an open-air gallery, this beloved tradition showcases 150 local and regional juried artists featuring an impressive array of mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, glasswork, mixed media, and more.

Attendees can meet the artists, watch live sculpting demonstrations, glassblowing, printmaking, and experience the creative process up close. This year, the event is excited to welcome back the popular Chalk Zone, featuring five incredible artists who will create live throughout the day.

The City of Carlsbad's Cultural Arts team is pleased to be back at Art in the Village again! Pop-Up Art is for people of all ages to be creative in fun, interactive ways, and this year, we're exploring murals as an art form. At this free artmaking experience, participants can make their own mini mural as well as contribute to a community mural that is inspired by similar art in the city.

In addition to three incredible musical acts ranging from lively country western to soulful R&B on the State Street Main Stage starting at 11:00am, live musicians will perform throughout the Village, providing a fabulous soundtrack to a day filled with art and inspiration.

Main Stage Lineup

• 11:00 AM — Morgan Leigh Band
  High-energy country-pop from American Idol alum Morgan Leigh.
• 1:30 PM — The Ramblin’ Sweethearts
  A toe-tapping mix of retro rockabilly, soul, and blues.
• 4:00 PM — David Spitzfaden Trio
  Blues, funk, R&B, and jazz fusion to close out the evening in style.
