Mission Statement: SDVAN is a database of information produced to improve the clarity, accuracy, and sophistication of discourse about San Diego's artistic and cultural life and is dedicated to the idea that the Visual Arts are a vital part of the health of our city. SDVAN hosts a free interactive directory and an events calendar covering all San Diego regions, including Baja Norte, with an opportunity section, gossip column, and the SmART Collector feature to help take the mystery out of buying art. This is the only site designed exclusively for the SAN DIEGO region and the VISUAL ARTS and is one of the most technically advanced sites of this kind in the country.
Current Work
Our most recent project is part of an awareness campaign we designed to create Art Stars. The SD ART PRIZE is dedicated to the idea that the visual arts are a necessary and rewarding ingredient of any world-class city and a building block of the lifestyle of its residents. Conceived to promote and encourage dialogue, reflection, and social interaction about San Diego’s artistic and cultural life, this annual award honors artistic expression.

The 2006-2007 SD ART PRIZE, a cash prize, will spotlight three established San Diego artists and three emerging artists whose outstanding achievements in the field of Visual Arts merit the recognition and prize. Over the course of the year, a series of exhibits will run simultaneously at the L Street Gallery at the Omni Hotel and on the websites SanDiegoArtist.com and www.SDVisualArts.net (SDVAN). Each exhibition will pair an established artist with an emerging artist. The final exhibition will run from June 2007 – September 2007 and will feature work by all recognized recipients of the SD ART PRIZE.
History
SDVAN started in 2002 and now features more than 900 visual arts resources in San Diego. The goals of the SDVAN are to:

  • Recognize and celebrate existing visual art accomplishments by spotlighting local artists

  • Create an exciting event that facilitates cross-pollination between cultural organizations and strengthens and invigorates the San Diego Visual Art Scene

  • Broaden the audience of the visual arts in San Diego by gaining national attention to the competition through a dedicated media campaign

  • Promote the vision of the future role that the visual arts will play in the San Diego community as lively, thriving, positive, and empowering

  • Expand the infrastructure of spokespeople/art celebrities who can bring awareness to San Diego and perform as role models for our student artists
