10th annual LeucadiART Walk promises to be colorful event

With 101 art exhibits, live music at six locations, live mural painting, a children’s art pavilion, and a craft beer garden, the 10th annual LeucadiART Walk will be a colorful event from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24.

“Whether you’ve attended the first nine or this is your first time at LeucadiART Walk, you’ll love the creations by local artists,” says Carris Rhodes, coordinator of Leucadia 101 Main Street.

“Leucadia has always been known for its art and diversity. While the 2014 ArtWalk will celebrate Leucadia’s artistic history, guests will also get a sample of today’s leading artists. This is going to be an amazing day or art, music, and fun.”

North Highway 101 will be lined with bands performing live. Scheduled to perform are the Euphoria Brass Band, Jenk’s Band, Adrienne Nims, Cordellia and Darius Degher.

The Craft Beer Garden at 714 N. Coast Highway 101 will feature local craft brews from Stone Brewing Co. and The Lost Abbey. The beer garden will be open from 1-7 p.m. Performing at the beer garden will be Lotus, Sister Juanita, The Hourglass Cats, High Minded, Lazy M.C’s and Wag Halen. When the LeucadiART Walk ends at 5 p.m., the “After Party” continues until 7 at the beer garden.

“We’re encouraging guests to ride the Magic Bus to LeucadiART Walk,” says Rhodes. “They can avoid traffic and parking problems by jumping on the Magic Bus at Encinitas City Hall. It’s a free ride with several stops at marked locations along Highway 101.”

LeucadiART Walk is made possible through a grant from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Sponsors include Vigilucci’s Trattoria Italiana, The Leucadia Beach Inn, Swell Property, and Sterling King Surf Hut Art Gallery.

Music and beverages are made possible by Kurt Schubert DDS, Stillman Heating and Air Conditioning, Noni Salon Boutique Spa, The Lost Abbey, and Stone Brewing Co.

The Kids’ Art Pavilion is sponsored and hosted by Lux Art Institute, Encinitas Friends of the Arts, and Paint Encinitas.
