More than 60 plastic artists from Mexico and the United States will meet at the 4th edition of Artwalk Rosarito, which it will take place on May 25 and May 26 at CEART in Playas de Rosarito.

With a free admission, attendants from both sides of the border will be able to appreciate original fine art, design, painting, and handcrafted pieces and a great exhibition inside the main gallery titled: “Tierras únicas / Identidades de Baja California”, which will pay tribute to the cultural wealth and hidden gems of our region. These include from landscapes, iconography, and characters to the textures and colors that represent our identity, all by acclaimed and emerging artists.

Artwalk Rosarito invites lovers of art to discover new worlds that explore the northwestern border. For American and southern California tourists, there will be a guided tour on Saturday, available at Art Scene Baja, which includes travel from Balboa Park to Artwalk Rosarito and back; a round trip. Price is $48 dollars.

This event will take place from 10 AM to 7 PM at Centro Estatal de Artes in Playas de Rosarito (CEART) during Memorial Day weekend, which means there will be a significant increase of foreign and expat resident tourists in Rosarito as well as North American gallery owners interested in acquiring new artworks.

Special guests include artists from Oaxaca, Mexico City, Morelos, Jalisco, the United States, and Baja California.

As a sign of synergy between two lands, this event is taking place with support by COTUCO Rosarito and its goal is the development of an art market that boosts social coexistence, binational integration, and cultural tourism.

Artwalk Rosarito began after the economic crisis and crime wave that occurred in 2008. Back then, a festival called "Rosarito ArtFest" took place. It was proposed by the artistic community to strengthen social coexistence and economic development through art. After the pandemic, they decided to change their format, little by little, from festival to art fair, which is why the name was changed to Artwalk Rosarito.

Since its origins, this movement has been characterized by promoting art through coexistence and the region's cultural development and including artists and visitors from both sides of the border.

At this event, you will be able to witness artworks from artists such as Claudia Lucero, Beatriz Lelevier, GRECO, Norma Morgan, Tirso Cuevas, Carlos Delgato, Janette Delgadillo, Olga Barrón, Tania Olivares, Luz Olivia Navarro, Alexis Ramírez, Ismael López, Cecilia González, and Ana Valenzuela, among others, as well as students from the Faculty of Art at UABC.

Immerse yourself in the interactive experiences of the world of Frida and La Catrina and delight yourself this weekend with local gastronomy from renowned chefs, paired with wine and craft beer.
