Looking for amazing sand and 3D art? If so, head down to the B street pier in downtown San Diego all this weekend to see some truly fantastic art at the US Sand Sculpting Challenge and 3D Art Exposition. Some of the best sand sculptors in the world have traveled to San Diego to compete this beautiful Labor Day weekend. The sand artists have been working since wednesday on their masterpieces. As of friday the creations really had a shape to them and many were on the verge of completion, which was good because the artists only have until 2pm saturday to finish their work.
This event also gives the opportunity for local amateur sand sculptors to display their best work as well. These artists began working yesterday giving attendees the opportunity to see how the process really begins.
this specific artist asked attendees to help pack down the sand. in order to get the sand more clay like they use water but if the wet sand is not packed down properly it could potentially crack.
once the sand is packed down they than use their molds to continue to stack the sand as high as they want their design. the above pictures is most of the amateur artists at the beginning building stages.
In addition to the sand art there were several local artists displaying their work for purchase. Don't forget to bring the kids and some extra money. There are several food trucks/vendors and for a small fee, extra entertainment for the little ones.
extra things for the kiddos for a small extra price. look how beautiful the city is in the background. most beautiful city on earth.
