Carlsbad Art and Culture

A culture is like a garden. It consists of many sections, each able to heal and nurture a hungry mind as well as provide inspiration, motivation and entertainment. These individual sections may start out small and weak, but with enough interest and involvement, can grow wild with restrictionless creativity.

What is your ideal garden? Do you like it meticulously manicured? What about the wild growth of unpredictability? Maybe all that matters is that with each day, each watering and each ray of light, your garden shows signs of growth.

The artistic culture of the village shows signs of new growth in the form of a high spirited country singer on the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue. Parker Dawson and his slightly altered lyrics pay respect to his “strolls down Carlsbad” and his presence entices the urge to pluck strings in the streets. Thanks Parker for planting your seed in the walkways of our village.
