OUR POP-UP ART SALE IS BACK

Build your personal art collection.

Discover rising art stars and support your local arts community.

Join us on Saturday November 16 and Sunday, November 17, Noon-5:00 P.M., for our annual C-NOTE Art Sale. For decades, this popular SDAI event boasted a cult-like following among budding collectors looking to test their eye and fill their walls. This year, the C-NOTE returns with a thoughtfully curated experience offering adventurous art collectors a unique opportunity to discover San Diego and Tijuana contemporary artists and to purchase their work for just $100, $200 and $300. 

An expert panel of jurors will hand-select over 300 one-of-a-kind pieces from over 100 local working artists. From large-scale paintings and photography to found objects and multimedia works, a diverse range of contemporary art will be on display and up for grabs. Through the C-NOTE, we are able to showcase some of the area’s brightest artistic talent while cultivating relationships between artists and collectors. 

Proceeds from each piece sold are shared between the artist and SDAI and will help us continue our mission to advance the region’s contemporary art and artists - supporting our year-round residencies, exhibitions, and education programs.

Doors open at noon during each day of the sale and collectors are encouraged to arrive early to beat the crowd.   

Once inside, just take your pick – literally off the wall – and make a beeline for the cashier.
