Wildlife Jewels Paint the Jewels of La Jolla — World Wildlife Day Community Painting
Paint Our Coastal Jewels | A Wildlife Jewels® Community Art Event
Celebrate World Wildlife Day by discovering the living “jewels” of La Jolla’s coastline—through art, wildlife education, and a short guided cove walk.
You’re invited to join Paint the Jewels™ of La Jolla, a free, family-friendly community celebration presented by Wildlife Jewels®. Explore art inspired by La Jolla’s majestic coastal wildlife—featuring wildlife we’ve documented through our field observations and, in some cases, wildlife we’ve helped report or support through rescue efforts. Then join us for a fun, short guided walk at the cove as we learn about the “Jewels” of La Jolla—harbor seals, sea lions, coastal birds, and tidepool life.
Artist-led Community Painting (optional): Guided by Wildlife Jewels’ renowned wildlife artist, this relaxed, all-ages painting experience features hand-drawn line art of La Jolla wildlife—ready for you to paint or color in. You’ll pick up a few simple painting techniques along the way, hear real stories from the field, and help bring a collaborative artwork to life.This experience connects creativity, conservation, and community, celebrating La Jolla’s coastal wildlife and the stories that make each “Jewel” unique.
Come paint, explore the exhibits, join the walk, or simply enjoy the beauty of the cove. No art experience needed. All ages welcome.
