: $2,500. The contribution supports the stART Up Award and a Cerca Series exhibition each year.
In 1998, MCASD launched stART Up, an affiliate group for young professionals and their families. Dues help support a regional artist with the annual stART Up Award. The chosen artist receives a cash purchase prize and is the subject of a Cerca Series exhibition. Through this award, stART Up members encourage and support emerging and under-recognized artists. Current Co-chairs are Stacy and Paul Jacobs and Laurie and Brent Woods.
stART Up members enjoy the following programs:
- Fall/Winter Event
- Annual Artist Studio Tour in San Diego and Tijuana
- Patron+ Sunday Brunch
- Reception/preview for the stART Up Award winner at Cerca Series exhibition
- Progressive Party
All programs are planned by Director Hugh M. Davies and our Curators Stephanie Hanor and Rachel Teagle. With the staff as guides, the group gains insight and access, facilitating a unique way to advance learning and collecting. Experienced and beginning collectors can benefit from the group.
stART Up members are invited to all upper-level MCASD Member events throughout the year: the annual Benefactor event, our Patron Sunday Brunch series (includes Family Brunch), the Axline Lecture Reception, events with artists, curators, and collectors, and more. stART Up members are recognized year-round in VIEW.

The stART Up Award honors regional artists of exceptional promise with an annual exhibition and purchase award. The intention of the award is to encourage and support emerging and under-recognized artists. By recognizing the achievements of artists in our region, the young collectors in stART Up hope to foster a vibrant arts community in San Diego. Award winners will exhibit their work in the Cerca Series-an ongoing series of six-week exhibitions at MCASD, that includes a bilingual brochure/poster, a virtual exhibition on MCASD's Web site, and an opening celebration. In addition, stART Up Award winners will receive a $10,000 purchase award. Recipients will be selected by MCASD's curators in consultation with the director.
