The smooth river stones are a symbol and a ubiquitous architectural feature of University Heights and make a fitting natural canvas or unique medium for the creativity and variety of artists.

2007 ARTS OPEN EGGStravaganza! -
Frank Casciani Joseph Bennett Linda Wood Feldman Amber Pierce Weston Riffle
This year in celebration of the ARTS, over a dozen local San Diego artists will turn real ostrich eggs into works of art to be displayed at the 2nd Annual UH ARTS OPEN.
The EGGS will make their first public appearance on August 9th at a preview party at the Lafayette Hotel, prior to being on display at Designs in Shell Gallery(2754 Calhoun Street, in the heart of Plaza Del Pasado in Old Town).
Eggs will then be available for a silent auction to be held at 5PM at Swedenborg Hall on the second day of the ARTS weekend, Sunday September 16th, located at 1531 Tyler St, San Diego, CA 92103.
The project, a fundraiser for University Heights 2008 ARTS OPEN, is patterned after events such as Cows on Parade in Chicago and Painted Ponies in Temecula. The Ostrich is the symbol and mascot for UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, and the egg a fitting symbol for the creativity of artists.
Some artists will see in this ARTventure, a chance to illustrate local history. Others may play on ideas about the egg itself. Whatever the image, it will be exciting to see what the artists come up with.
