Join ArtReach for a Festive Night in Hillcrest!

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2025 // 5:30 – 9:00 PM

ArtReach is excited to participate in Taste ’N’ Tinis, Hillcrest’s iconic holiday sip-and-shop celebration hosted by Fabulous Hillcrest. This joyful neighborhood event is part of the SHOP Hillcrest for the Holidays campaign and brings the community together for an evening of festive drinks, delicious bites, and unique local shopping.

Taste ’N’ Tinis is a wonderful opportunity to support local businesses, celebrate community, and connect with organizations making an impact in San Diego. Local shops and restaurants will be offering one-night-only specials, including drink discounts, in-store promotions, and holiday perks. As you explore the beautifully decorated streets of Hillcrest, we invite you to stop by the ArtReach creative station, where we’ll be hosting:

  • Free Holiday art activities
  • A donation-based photo booth with holiday sweater props – festive photo strips included!
  • 20% off all all ArtReach merch

Your participation helps us bring free or low-cost visual arts programming to schools and communities that need it most!
