Keep your eyes peeled for booths featuring Liberty Station’s own local artists, too, including June Rubin, Michele Pruyn, and Susie Zol.

New this year is the VIP Preview pARTy on Friday, Aug. 4, 4-8 p.m., where guests can meet the artists and peek at pieces ahead of the fest. A $25 ticket includes two drink vouchers and live music.

As always, ArtWalk supports ArtReach San Diego, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing equity in visual arts education in local K-8 schools.
