Walk the Walk Presents... is an event production company celebrating the creative arts in San Diego. Weaving together various mediums through both display and performance - music, film, puppetry, and fire dancing, to name a few - their events are an exhilarating kick in the ass to conventional socializing.
Founders Jon Block and Adam Rosen met at an Offspring concert when they were fourteen. Their love for grunge-era music - plus the fact neither had anyone else to play with - sparked a musical collaboration that lasted the next twelve years. It was towards the end of this period, however, that they began deriving more fun from attending their San Diego friends' concerts, exhibits, club nights, screenings, and stand-up performances.
They founded the monthly series SIGHT & SOUND in March 2008, which hosts performances from and creates a sneak preview of upcoming arts events such as San Diego Indie Music Fest, Ray at Night, and Healing Arts Festival. They also produced ART AROUND ADAMS (June 2008), the 1.5 mile arts & music walk in Normal Heights/Kensington, featuring Gregory Page, Anna Troy, two trolleys, and 75 artists participating in sterling Adams Avenue businesses. These are just two examples of how Walk the Walk bridges the gap between artists and the public, sparking change in social ritual, and honoring those who stay the creative course no matter the obstacles.
