[nggallery id=324]

The opening reception for the art exhibit “Santa Anna Condition: John Valadez” drew a crowd to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego on June 9. Patrons mingled over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before meeting the artist and viewing the show, which will remain on exhibit through Sept. 2 at 700 Prospect St. For 25 years, the Los Angeles-based Valadez has depicted the people and places of Southern California.

The MCASD is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, but closed Wednesdays. Admission is free from 5 to 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month.
