Join us for an afternoon with Danielle Dean, Ingrid Hernández, and Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, the three extraordinary artists honored with the 2026 San Diego Art Prize. Moderated by curator Lara Bullock, Ph.D., this panel accompanies Soft Power: On Color, Time, and Resistance, an exhibition that invites viewers to look more closely at the quiet yet powerful forces shaping identity, environment, and belief. Each recipient is recognized for sustained excellence in creativity, professional achievement, and meaningful contributions to the region's arts ecosystem.

Each artist will be introduced by local champions of their work, including architects Jim Brown and Isabel Dutra; Artist Amy Sanchez Artega of Cognate Collective, previous SD Art Prize recipient in 2022 and SDSU educator; and Christine E. Jones, Manager of Art, Film and Creative Industries at the SD County Office of Economic Development and Government Affairs, before sharing an intimate look into their practice, process, and the inspiration that drives them.

Presented by Oceanside Museum of Art in partnership with San Diego Visual Arts Network (SDVAN), this gathering is a celebration of the artists, collectors, and advocates whose vision and dedication continue to shape a thriving visual arts community across San Diego County and beyond.
