San Diego, CA -August 2007: This year in celebration of the ARTS, over a dozen local San Diego artists will turn real ostrich eggs into works of art to be displayed at the 2nd Annual University Heights ARTS OPEN.

The EGGS will make their first public appearance on August 9th at a preview party at the Lafayette Hotel, prior to being on display at Designs in Shell Gallery (2754 Calhoun Street, in the heart of Plaza Del Pasado in Old Town).

Eggs will then be available for a silent auction at Swedenborg Hall on the second day of the ARTS weekend, Sunday September 16th, located at 1531 Tyler St, San Diego, CA 92103.  

The project, a fundraiser for University Heights 2008 ARTS OPEN and their elementary school art program, is patterned after events such as Cows on Parade in Chicago and Painted Ponies in Temecula. The Ostrich is the symbol and mascot for UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, and the egg a fitting symbol for the creativity of artists.

Artists selected for EGGStravaganza: Amber Pierce, Alexis Archibald, Carla Friedrich, Dorothy Annette, Eddie Henderson, Frank Casciani, Jim Hammond, Joseph Bennett, Linda Wood Feldman, Mario Torero, Melody Wolder, Midge Hyde,  Randy "RD" Riccoboni,  Scott Nespor, and Weston Riffle.
