Lux Art Institute is redefining the museum experience to make art more accessible and personally meaningful. At Lux, you don’t just see finished works of art; you see the artistic process firsthand, engaging with internationally recognized artists in a working studio environment.

As part of this mission, Lux works to:

• Support artists in the development of new projects through a residency program, and share their discoveries with scholars, art patrons and a regional and national audience.

• Educate and engage the community to foster an appreciation of the living artist and creative process.

• Exhibit finished works from Lux residencies alongside the artist’s other works and those of others who have influenced them.

• Develop relationships with similar institutions to produce publications that interpret the work created in the residency program.

More about Lux

Just a short trip in between Rancho Santa Fe and Encinitas in one of the best Italian eateries around, Firenze Trattoria.   At Firenze Trattoria, the preferred San Diego Italian Restaurant, we want our patrons to be able to enjoy the great weather and atmosphere that our outdoors dining area creates.

Therefore, we are offering Jazz on the Patio Sundays because we want to create an even better outdoors environment in which to enjoy our great Tuscan cuisine.  If you are a regular patron, then you already know that we only use the finest and freshest ingredients in creating dishes which we know are fine renditions of the Tucan originals.

If you have never been to Firenze, then we hope you will have such a wonderful experience that will create a regular patron.  This is one of the reasons for Jazz on the Patio Sundays; we feel that our patrons deserve to delight all of their senses when they dine at Firenze.

If you will, think of a fine San Diego evening (which is the norm for this time of year), think of fine Tuscan cuisine, think of eating this wonderful Italian food in a great outdoor setting, and think of spending time with family, friends, or that special someone; and think of wonderful jazz music in the background to create the perfect mood and give you a fabulous overall experience.

That is what we had in mind when we created Jazz on the Patio Sundays, and we want you enjoy this wonderful sensory experience.  Jazz on the Patio Sundays will be available through September.  The music begins at 4:30 pm and ends at 8:00 pm, so do be sure to make your reservations so that you can have your favorite patio table set aside.

At Firenze Trattoria, the idea that drives us is being able to find ways to thank and please our patrons for making us the preferred San Diego Italian restaurant in the area.
