SD art rings off the hook. Art calls the creative, pick up the phone; art’s gotta lot to say! This is the case for three creative couples of San Diego. District 117—a sanctuary for urban art—founded by three couples who shared one creative idea. The gallery became an ultimate output of common interests; a little friendship, a little art and POW District 117 is born. The name District 117 stems from an unexpected meeting the couples had in San Diego, (of which lies at the 117th longitudinal degree of the globe), it was there the epic tale begins. The gallery founders embrace an interdependent outlook on art, all with roots from Los Angeles, New York, Madrid, Asturia, and Barcelona. Making history, promoting art, 117 has become a home to the owners and the artists of the Hillcrest community. As what regularly stands as a gallery for the more contemporary urban edge of art, is now for the first time going photographic with their upcoming 1st Juried Photography Art Show District 117, where twenty talented photographers can strut their stuff. The show presents over 50 photographs of international styles from digital and film with an urban touch, to countryside landscapes. The show hosts photos taken by photographers of different nationalities US, Spain, UK, France and many more. The show opens Feb. 1 until Feb. 24th at both District 117 and Bamboo Lounge.
