Pop-Up Art (formerly Family Open Studios) is designed to spark new interest in all mediums of the visual and performing arts while creating a dialogue around the value of the arts in daily life as cited in the Arts & Culture Master Plan. Temporary art projects often have a predetermined life span, ranging from just mere hours to a few months to several years throughout Carlsbad. Sponsored by the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office, it celebrates the array of talented local, regional and national artists. As free arts experiences for all ages, there are currently three components to the program:
- Pop-Up Art: An Interactive Encounter (formerly Family Open Studios)
- Pop-Up Art: Showcasing Local Talent (featured at Carlsbad Libraries)
- Pop-Up Art: A New Experience (in collaboration with the Carlsbad Village Association)
