Escondido Arts Partnership

Escondido Arts Partnership is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts agency with a downtown gallery that is home to more than 400 local artists. Its monthly themed exhibitions, such as Art & Science, Fiber Arts and Recycled Art, challenge regional artists to make new work, and the group also hosts lectures, film events and art auctions.

Exhibitions are free to enter, and the partnership offers free ongoing arts education, workshops and performance space. It also runs the California Certified Escondido Farmers' Market on Juniper Street downtown, where growers sell only what they grow alongside local artisans. The market is held on Tuesday afternoons until sundown, and the gallery keeps regular afternoon hours on several days a week.
