Arte Fresca is a grassroots, underground, art movement that is focused on local artists, live music and NO ATTITUDE! Our mission is to bring the local arts and music of the area to the forefront of the scene in San Diego, all the while meeting other like-minded people and having a great time minus any of the attitude.

Arte Fresca began in the summer of 2010 in San Diego, CA from a crazy idea and a passion for local art and music. A group of local artists, musicians and friends got together to form Arte Fresca in early 2010; we held our first show on June 11th at an apartment in Ocean Beach. The idea was to showcase local artists and musicians in a low pressure and fun atmosphere without the attitude that can sometimes come along with this scene. We moved all of the furniture out of the apartment, filled the walls with art, put a dj inside, a band outside, and gathered all of our friends. The art flew off the walls, everyone had a blast, and Arte Fresca was born!
