Colbie Caillat – Gypsy Heart Tour
Colbie Caillat welcomes change. Being a Gemini might have something to do with it, or it could just be her innate predilection for progression. Either way, the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum songstress’s fourth album, Gypsy Heart, and EP Gypsy Heart: Side A, see her artistically evolve yet again. Caillat’s music lasts forever. To date, she has been honored with two Grammy Awards and sold over six million albums and 10 million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit “Bubbly” remains “one of the best-selling digital tracks in history” and her multi-platinum debut COCO hit No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart upon release, while her sophomore set Breakthrough landed at No. 1.

Spitting in the Wind: Art From the End of the Line
This exhibition celebrates the long-standing friendships of Richard Allen Morris (b. 1933), John Baldessari (b. 1931), Bob Matheny (b. 1929) and Russell Baldwin (1933-2008), and the astonishing range of artworks they made while living and working in the San Diego area. The four friends produced some of the most vigorous, humorous and unconventional art in the region. Yet at the time — primarily the late 1950s and 1960s — their efforts were often stymied by San Diego’s then rather limited capacity to appreciate them.
