Free family arts series launches in La Jolla

Zoom in: The event brings together the La Jolla Historical Society, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library and the Murals of La Jolla Program.

• The goal is to draw more families to the neighborhood and show them what each institution has to offer, Lauren Lockhart, executive director of La Jolla Historical Society, told Axios.
• The very brave can do some circus arts on Sunday, including walking a tightrope and juggling, she said.

"Our organization in particular is often called a hidden gem," she said. "People discover us and say, 'I can't believe I didn't know you were here.'"

State of play: There will be six events total this year to showcase the different institutions.

• "I just hope that folks will come and spend the day with us, visit our site, visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, and then be inspired to come back and learn about these other cultural partners over the course of the year," Lockhart said.

If you go: The event is Sunday at 11am at the La Jolla Historical Society & Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street.
