DEL MAR
One of the world’s hottest art experiences is coming to the Del Mar Fairgrounds in January.
“Beyond Van Gogh,” an immersive exhibit that allows visitors to walk through empty rooms where Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings are projected all around them, will open Jan. 14, 2022, in the Wyland Center at the fairgrounds. Tickets go on sale Saturday.
The Instagram-friendly exhibition uses digital projection mapping software that animates the paintings of the popular 19th-century Dutch artist so that the images move and swirl around the walls, floors and ceilings and the stars twinkle.
Created in 2020 by Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s Normal Studio, the exhibit features more than 300 Van Gogh artworks with 500,000 square feet of visual projections and 60,000 frames of video. It also has a recorded symphonic score.

No, it wasn’t 1998 as Trevor Hoffman was racking up 53 saves to help lead the Padres to the World Series. It was a recent morning inside the Wyland Center at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The county’s newest vaccination superstation opened Friday morning at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for a test run of about 288 patients, the same day a missed shipment of the Moderna vaccine heightened worries countywide about shortened supplies.
Also Friday, the state announced that beginning March 15 vaccinations will be available to a larger group of people including those 64 and younger with cancer, obesity and other underlying conditions.
Vaccinations will slow for now in San Diego County because of the limited supply, and in some cases appointments will have to be rescheduled. The county’s largest site, the UC San Diego Health Petco Super Station, will deliver no vaccinations Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and appointments there will be automatically rescheduled through UCSD’s MyChart, officials said.
