<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;">The studio and galley artists are creating what promises to be a uniquely South Bay art show. Focused on the wonderful colors that make our community such a vibrant and charming place to live. These paintings will add local color to any art collection or decor.<br /><br />In addition to the Colors of the South Bay paintings we will also have a very special small treasure show with 6” x 9” size paintings framed and ready to take home. These paintings are all original works priced at only $125 including the frame. This is a great chance to own an original from one of our artists.<br /><br />So save the date so you can enjoy colorful paintings at our opening reception.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07626469659970922286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450996695546648050.post-29567991935321377332016-11-09T11:13:00.000-08:002016-11-09T11:13:52.520-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h1>
Art Event and Sale for our 2nd Anniversary!</h1>
<ul>
<li>On November 19 at 3pm a crowd is anticipated to be queued up awaiting the doors opening for Art2Go at Destination: Art, 1815 W. 213<sup>th</sup> St., #135, Torrance, CA to get a first look at the artwork created for this event!</li>
<li>Art2Go is a fun concept for enjoying and acquiring original artwork to benefit our non-profit art studios and gallery which is celebrating its second anniversary.</li>
<li><img align="none" data-cke-saved-src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5d28c57360dfa658a974a6bf6/images/9d471982-3cfe-4f32-bb9f-50f98fcc5455.jpg" height="175" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5d28c57360dfa658a974a6bf6/images/9d471982-3cfe-4f32-bb9f-50f98fcc5455.jpg" style="height: 175px; margin: 0px; width: 100px;" width="100" /> The number of art pieces is continuing to grow!</li>
<li>The more than 200 unframed, unsigned Art2Go pieces have been created by the 21 studio and gallery artists of Destination: Art, as well as the over 60 Associate Artists affiliated with Destination: Art from all over the South Bay.</li>
<li>Once the specially displayed art is revealed to the public at 3pm on November 19, attendees will be prompted to choose pieces off the wall before someone else does! </li>
<li>Because the artwork will be unsigned, art lovers are encouraged to choose art they like for its own sake, rather than look for the work of particular well-known artists of Destination: Art, such as David Wolfram, Richard Stephens, Margaret Lindsey, Dolores Garren, Al Hagan, or many others. Once a piece is sold, the mystery of the artist’s name will be revealed and the buyer may ask for the piece to be signed by the artist.</li>
<li>Art2Go pieces will be in two sizes (12x12 and 8x10) and two prices ($150 and $100), ready to go and will be packaged in take-out pizza boxes upon purchase in keeping with the theme of the event. </li>
<li>Participants may take part in the creative process by choosing a frame for the artwork from two framers who will be on site,<a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.kingofframe.com/" href="http://www.kingofframe.com/" target="_blank"> Randy Higbee</a> of Costa Mesa, and Jon Thornton of <a data-cke-saved-href="http://foursticks.net/media-tags/framed-examples/" href="http://foursticks.net/media-tags/framed-examples/" target="_blank">4-Sticks Framing</a> in Torrance. </li>

<span style="color: #274e13;">Giving Back to the Community</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">From the beginning, Destination: Art has been organized as a public benefit corporation and has non-profit tax-exempt status. As such, during our first year, we have been on the look-out for ways to use our artistic creativity to give back to the community and benefit others. Consequently, Destination; Art has been welcomed into the community of volunteers that design and decorate the trees for the Torrance Memorial Holiday Festival. </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Holiday Festival is a one-of-a-kind holiday event that includes, beautifully decorated trees, entertainment, holiday gifts, children's activities, food court and special events featuring a <a href="http://www.torrancememorial.org/Giving/Events/Holiday_Festival/Events_and_Activities/Festival_Fashions.aspx">fashion show</a>, <a href="http://www.torrancememorial.org/Giving/Events/Holiday_Festival/Events_and_Activities/Festival_Gala.aspx">dinner gala</a>, and a <a href="http://www.torrancememorial.org/Giving/Events/Holiday_Festival/Events_and_Activities/Lunch_with_Santa.aspx">Santa lunch</a>. The Festival will be open to the public December 1 - 6 in the Torrance Memorial parking lot - look for the big tent!</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Holiday Festival is an important tradition at Torrance Memorial and a true cornerstone in fundraising efforts. This signature event is vital in helping Torrance achieve high quality medical services for all residents of the South Bay. This year all proceeds will support Torrance Memorial Medical Center.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Destination: Art's tree will be decorated with ornaments all hand-made by the the artists of Destination: Art, featuring 60 miniature painting reproductions of famous paintings with a holiday twist! For example, Vermeer's <i>Girl with Pearl Earring</i> has become <i>Elf with Pearl Earring</i> in acrylic by Margaret Lindsey</span><span style="color: #660000;">. </span><span style="color: lime;">See below:</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="color: blue;">Can't wait until December to see these precious gems?</span></h4>

Community, Permanence, and Beauty</h2>
<div>
These are the values we kept in mind as we chose the sites to be depicted in the first calendar produced by the artists of Destination: Art. We wanted to draw out the beauty in the local Torrance landmarks that have endured over time and that define and bring together the Torrance community. Eleven of the artists from Destination: Art have created original paintings of 13 sites in Torrance which are beautifully reproduced on the pages of the 2016 calendar which will be on sale at Destination: Art's First Anniversary and Holiday Party, November 14 from 5 - 8pm. The original paintings will be unveiled at that time and available for purchase.</div>

By now, many have seen the lovely painting of the Pacific Electric Railway - El Prado Bridge entitled "Sunset on the Bridge"hanging in the the studio of artist Catherine Cunningham at Destination: Art. In fact, this painting graces the cover of the 2016 Calendar, "Community, Permanence, and Beauty," as well as the home page of the Destination: Art website, <a href="http://www.destination-art.net/">www.destination-art.net</a>. We chose this painting to symbolize the Community, Permanence, and Beauty that Destination: Art hopes to bring to Torrance just as the bridge itself is a symbol of the City of Torrance. We are fortunate to have the artistic talents of Catherine Cunningham as a part of Destination: Art and are grateful for her coordinating the calendar production. Please come by Destination: Art to see her painting and we will see you on the 14th of November for calendar sales!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Anna Yu primarily paints in the pastel medium. Pastels are pure pigment in stick form and create a very luminous effect on the page. Although mostly self-taught, Anna has taken workshops through the Pastel Society of Southern California (see <a href="http://www.pastelsocal.com/">www.pastelsocal.com</a>), and she has been a student of Joe Mancuso when he was teaching in Manhattan Beach (see <a href="http://www.mancusofineart.com/">www.mancusofineart.com</a>). Now Joe teaches occasionally at Destination: Art and has a workshop scheduled for September 19 (<a href="http://destinationartsouthbay.blogspot.com/p/classes.html" target="_blank">click here for more info about classes)</a>. <br />

Anna Yu shares this about her art:<br />
<br />
"When I slow down, I see the purple in the fading sunset, the pink shimmering on the surface of the water, and the bright yellow bursting from the trees. This is why I like painting so much, so that I may reflect my impressions of nature in my work. Life is a journey, and I want to capture that journey in my art. let us slow down and enjoy it. If you feel the same way as I do about life, you can enjoy more of my work at Destination: Art."<br />
<br />

You must experience Anna's unique perspective and lovely touch for yourself by coming to see the gallery.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Whether you’re an art collector or buying art to indulge </span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">your personal fancy or as a unique gift, our gallery provides a remarkable selection of fine artwor</span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">k.</span><br />

Jean Says, "My paintings reflect my interest in the colorful places of our local area. Catalina, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and San Pedro are favorite subjects as well as my 'Beach Peeps' showing fun at local beaches. I try for a loose impressionistic style showing a place you might like to visit. If you see me out painting with my beach buggy,stop by for a chat!"<div>

"It's the first time I won a Best of Show!" exclaimed Diane Reeves as she accepted the award for her mixed media piece, "Grace Notes of Life". Diane continued to say that it was an honor to receive the award especially from among such a variety of accomplished artists who comprise the Associates Members of Destination: Art, and she highly values the award coming from Ron Libbrecht of APCFine Art Gallery, who was the juror. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br />
Diane Reeves has always been a photographer but she describes herself as an artist who works with photographs. For this piece, she printed the photo on rice paper and collaged it to board. Then she added colored pencil and ink. The title of the piece alludes to the lowly clothes pin as a metaphor for finding inspiration in the mundane parts of daily life. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br />
Diane Reeves has been a member of the South Bay art community for quite some time, holding memberships and past offices in the Torrance Artists' Guild, Redondo Beach Art Group, and Artists' Open Group of the PV Art Center. Diane is re-entering the art community after some time away to care for family members and has chosen to do so by joining as an Associate member at Destination: Art because, she says, it is an innovative idea and she loves the Open Studio Paint-ins on Tuesdays! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Destination: Art values the Associate Members and their contributions to the community.</b></div>
