Project Tour IQHQ-RaDD Artwalk Tour

Project Tour IQHQ-RaDD Artwalk Tour

Join the RaDD Artwalk Tour to explore 18 contemporary artworks across IQHQ’s newly developed waterfront district in downtown San Diego. This collection features murals, sculptures, installations, and digital projections by international and local artists, engaging visitors of all ages.

RaDD, spanning ten acres and six blocks, is the largest urban commercial waterfront site on California’s Pacific coast, poised to become a major life science district. The tour, led by Public Art Consultant Ann Berchtold and IQHQ Sr. Director of Design Ashley Simpson, will offer insights into the project’s artistic and architectural impact. Experience the fusion of art, design, and innovation at the RaDD Artwalk during San Diego Design Week.

The guided tour on Friday, September 20 from 10 to 11 a.m has reached capacity. We’ve added another walk on September 25, 5:30 to 6:30pm. 

Reservations are required.

For both tours, we will be meeting at 925 Waterfront Place at the white flower sculpture on-site.  The parking garage in VIDA is open, however it is paid parking. There is also typically plenty of street parking nearby! See map below.
