59 ACRES is a poetic, meditative and innovative work from Los Angeles-based artist Marike Splint offers new ways of seeing and listening as it navigates you through the physical, cultural and geographical landscapes we inhabit, in search of the extraordinary amidst the mundane.

First commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse for the 2024 WOW Festival, 59 ACRES will be available for you to explore and enjoy for free anytime during daylight hours through June 2025.

Exhibition dates: February 8 - March 28. Friendship Park, Take Amistad on the Road features sculptures, photography, paintings, performance art, and participatory installations about the past, present, and future of Friendship Park.  Artists in the exhibition include Nanzi Muro, Maria Teresa Fernandez and natalia ventura.  Each of the three artists communicates a shared message of cross-border friendship (amistad) that is the essence of Friendship Park. 

Opening reception with the artists, Sat. February 8 from 4pm - 8pm.
