ENVZN23

The excitement is building for Vanguard Culture’s ENVZN23: Urban Art Takeover, a one-day visual and performing arts festival that will transform industrial spaces, unused buildings, and public areas of Commercial Street in Logan Heights with immersive and interactive art experiences.

“ENVZN23 will bridge people and art across borders and boundaries to highlight some of the region’s most innovative creators,” says Vanguard Culture Founder and Executive Director Susanna Peredo Swap. Featuring 50+ artists and more than a dozen performing arts groups from both sides of the border, the festival promises to amaze and inspire with creative collaborations, live art making, and dozens of multi-sensory experiences. Visitors will enjoy dance, puppetry, and theatre performances on warehouse loading docks, a fashion show by Fashion Week San Diego in an industrial storage lot, art installations with curated soundscapes by Tijuana-based multimedia artist Malu, a short film festival inside a CrossFit gym, food and drink by local vendors, and much more.
