Encinitas’ Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) North is expanding its popular Weekly Wellness Saturdays program through the end of the year, thanks to the overwhelming community response. Each Saturday, visitors can take part in two donation-based wellness experiences, enjoy free access to ICA’s galleries and sculpture gardens, and participate in family-friendly art-making activities.
"ICA Weekly Wellness Saturdays were created to provide a space for the community to connect," says Katerina Vo, Director of Learning & Engagement, ICA San Diego. "By partnering with local practitioners to provide sessions that range from breathwork to sound healing to movement, we aim to highlight the connection between art and wellness, and underscore the role of culture and creativity in an overall healthy lifestyle — whether you're an avid contemporary art enthusiast or just looking to get outside and try something new. ”
