A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: October 2021 Arts Issue

Art is Everywhere

To make and experience art is so central to being human. Art has an awesome power to bring people together as human beings like nothing else can and it enriches our lives in such a powerful way. The magazine itself is a work of art. Each issue is thoughtfully created with love and admiration for the Coronado community. You are invited to be a part of it!

With this October Arts issue, we celebrate the many ways art touches our lives and hope to promote artists from Coronado, San Diego and beyond. While we sprinkle arts into every issue, October and March are specifi cally dedicated to the Arts.

From Art in the Park to the Coronado Music Festival, the Coronado community embraces art in many ways all year. In this issue, get in the know about the Coronado Island Film Festival, and read about local artist German Corrales and discover the cultural signifi cance and deeper meaning in his butterfl y paintings.

Pumpkin spice is in the air with the holidays approaching, and it’s the perfect time to grab a friend and get some early holiday shopping done locally. Coronado is brimming with boutique shops all stocked up with the cutest gift ideas! Check out the Around Town column on page 46 with where to purchase art from local artists right on Orange Avenue.

Art is everywhere – even in how we live. Also in this issue, check out a brand-new column called UNDERCOVER CORONADO where we discover little known things about life here. This month, Sharon Risse writes about local living o the beaten path in alleyways. In 2017 Chris Kelly wrote a great article for the Coronado Times about Coronado Alley Dwellers having a unique sense of neighborhood, and he is right. Read about all the fun locals are having together on page 44 and maybe you’ll want to join the Alley Dwellers, too!

I hope you enjoy this issue!

Warm wishes,

Heather Canton, Editor
