The DMF's Cultural Arts Committee organizes a wide variety of lectures, concerts and other performances for the community, most of which take place in the Powerhouse Community Center.  The popular "First Thursdays" series, which includes a monthly lecture or concert from September through June each year, sells out each year. See below for how to sign up for the wait-list for First Thursdays. 

A series of " Bluegrass and Beyond" concerts, co-produced with the San Diego Bluegrass Society, has brought nationally-acclaimed bluegrass musicians to Del Mar over the past several years.  These performances have included The Infamous Stringdusters (named Emerging Artists of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association); Rob Ickes (9-time IBMA Dobro Player of the Year) and Joe Craven; two IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year award winners, Claire Lynch and Laurie Lewis; and the instrumental trio Phillips, Grier & Flinner, with special guest Gabe Witcher.

You are welcome to attend any meeting, or or to let us know of your interest in getting involved by sending an email to CA@DelMarFoundation.org.

   

Each year, this popular series sells out quickly, and the 2011-2012 series is now sold out.  We are returning checks received after we reached capacity, and placed those names on the wait list for next year. You can also send an email to CA@delmarfoundation.org to be added to the wait list for future years.
