Fine Art in the Park
August 13 & 14, 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. at Lincoln Park in Los Altos
A spectacular showcase of paintings, sculptures, glass, textiles, woodwork, jewelry and wearable art created by over 150 of the Bay Area award winning artists who were meticulously selected by Carol Dabb, the Los Altos Rotary’s distinguished Art Connoisseur and the Artists Chairperson, will present and sell their work at the Fine Arts in the Park, the most prestigious and highly rated outdoor event in California.
Stop by the recently refurbished by the Rotarians Gazebo to view an extraordinary art addition coordinated and curated by Rotarian Patricia Rohrs, writer, educator and an art aficionado, who together with an energetic team of Rotarians assembled an exciting selection of the amazing art in the category of “Young at Art.” It is a must visit, view and marvel at the talent of these high school students under the direction of their dedicated teachers who will showcase their incredible artistic creativity.
Under the brilliant orchestration by Sandy Mingia, the show’s Executive Director and an outstanding member of the Los Altos Rotary Club, Fine Arts in the Park’s picturesque setting of downtown Lincoln Park, will create a weekend of cultural enrichment accompanied by the lavish gourmet journey and live entertainment for the visitors, the art collectors and the travelers from near and far who have been eagerly awaiting the upcoming Fine Art in the Park Show. As a charitable organization Rotary Club supports and funds many needy organizations locally, nationally and internationally and the dedicated members of the Los Altos Rotary Club are extremely generous in supporting multiple important causes.
The Rotary Club of Los Altos is a service organization dedicated to the service for our members, our community, our nation and the world. 100% of the Fine Art in the Park show’s proceeds benefit projects like high-school scholarships and grants, fostering youth leadership, and beautifying the community. Internationally: funds support ending polio forever!, basic education and literacy, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, economic and community development, disease prevention and treatment.
Join the Fine Art in the Park festivities for the entire family, even for your favorite pooches, provided as Ms. Mingia informed me, your doggie is on a leash and is well behaved. No biting in the park, please! Don’t forget to bring their delicious treat!
Stroll downtown to the Veterans Plaza in Los Altos to view the impressive Veterans Mural painted by the well known local and the internationally recognized artists Oscar Lopez Guerrero and Jordan Fong, the Art Teacher at Foothill College located in Los Altos Hills. The beautiful mural was also sponsored and presented by the Los Altos Rotary Club to the citizens of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills.
Look for me at the Fine Arts in the Park’s most popular Chef Chu’s Booth where the world renowned Chicken Salad will be available for sale for your exquisite gourmet pleasure.
Should be quite a weekend! Enjoy!
