Typically, when visiting San Diego in search of art and galleries, one is easily directed to the La Jolla Cove, Solana Beach Cedros Design District, and Little Italy's Kettner Blvd. While those neighborhoods are full of galleries, talent and events, it's worth taking the time to check out the less mainstream areas. The art scene in San Diego extends much farther, and I frequently find myself in North Park and East Village. But for those looking for creativity in north county, with just a little effort, creative pockets are quickly discovered.
One space I've visited recently is Green/Flash. The small gallery and art shop, located in a corner unit on Chesterfield primarily showcases surf related works by local artists. They have an upcoming opening for a collaborative show, The Last Frontier, a surfers inner journey. Artists include: Barry McGee, Thomas Campbell, Chris Del Moro, Matt Beard, Micah Wood, Ash Francomb, Christine Brailsford, and Kris DeGrazio. Opening reception is 16 October, 6-10pm. Enjoy a complimentary brew and mingle with the artists. A portion of the proceeds will go towards Greenpeace. For other upcoming shows and screenings, refer to: http://www.greenflashartshop.com/
