This fall, another Mingei off-site installation opens at the Escondido Arts Partnership Municipal Gallery. Located on the corner of Grand Avenue and Juniper Street and with a welcoming glass facade, the Escondido Municipal Gallery nurtures a community of artists while providing opportunities for ongoing arts education, peer and public interactions, exhibitions and performance space. With a mission to enhance the quality of life in the Southern California region by offering diverse artistic, educational, social and entertainment experiences, they are a perfect partner for Mingei during our expected year of closure. An installation of a colorful restaurant scene in miniature created by _artesana_ Zenaida Rafael Julián from Ocumicho, Mexico, will open on November 10, 2018. Created in 2006, this elaborately conceived artwork depicts a bustling restaurant at lunchtime, with four tables of hungry diners eating tacos, burritos and sopes, while busy waitresses, a tortilla maker and other figures enliven the scene.
The Escondido Municipal Gallery offers free admission to the public are open on: Tuesdays 11:00am - 5:00pm Thursday-Saturday 11:00am - 4:00pm
The Escondido Arts Partnership also operates a California State Certified Farmer’s Market every Tuesday on Grand Avenue between Juniper and Kalmia Street in Downtown Escondido.
