Music and momentum. Join us as we start 2026 with instruments and intentionality. From evenings of mixed-genre compositions to workshops for creatives, there’s something for everyone — you just have to look.
Meeting of the Minds
Jan. 13 @ Meraki Spaces
An evening of collaboration and intentional design, join us at Meraki spaces for a curated discussion among San Diego’s creative business community. You’ll practice and get to create a clear mission statement, a compelling pitch, and smart, measurable goals for the upcoming year. Whether you’re well-seasoned in the business or are simply interested, you’ll have the opportunity to grow, network, and exchange ideas.
An Evening of Sound & Story
January 13/17 @ The University Club
Two dates. Two speakers. One unforgettable experience. Join us for two days of sound and story, where two speakers who pull the strings of the San Diego Symphony draw us behind the curtains. Your ticket includes admission to a performance by the San Diego Symphony at a later date, January 17th.
Acousmonium by Sam Dunscombe
Jan. 16 @ Bread & Salt Gallery
Walk into an orchestra of shifting sound. In this three-dimensional performance, composer and sound artist Sam Dunscombe positions loudspeakers to create an immersive “loudspeaker orchestra.” The performance invites listeners to walk and listen from multiple perspectives, creating an exploratory environment inviting the unexpected.
San Diego Latin Jazz Collective
Jan. 17 @ Lou Lou’s Club
The San Diego Latin Jazz Collective dares you to try not to dance at their next performance. Founded by Michael Benge (Miguelito), the group brings together top performers from the SoCal/Tijuana region. In their upcoming show at Lou Lou’s Club, experience a fusion of musical genres, from jazz and salsa to pop, reggae, and funk.
The Art of Manifesting
Jan. 18 @ Museum of Contemporary Arts, San Diego
The Museum of Contemporary Arts, San Diego, and I AM U Healing are proud to collaborate on an upcoming 2026 workshop with a vision board experience. Let’s start the new year with authenticity and showing up without performance. You’ll get reflective prompts, curated creative stations, and hands-on collage-making. Be intentional. Keep dreaming.
Among this selection, we hope you find something that draws you. As we carefully step into the New Year, new opportunities await us.
