Art Event and Sale for our 2nd Anniversary!

• 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^th St., #135, Torrance, CA to get a first look at the artwork created for this event!
• 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.
•   The number of art pieces is continuing to grow!
• 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.
• 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! 
• 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.
• 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. 
• Participants may take part in the creative process by choosing a frame for the artwork from two framers who will be on site, Randy Higbee of Costa Mesa, and Jon Thornton of 4-Sticks Framing in Torrance. 

JOIN US NOVEMBER 19, from 3 - 7pm.

Art2Go is also the anchor for the Downtown Torrance Artwalk Holiday Open House

Destination: Art at Torrance Memorial Holiday Festival

Giving Back to the Community

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.  

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 fashion show, dinner gala, and a Santa lunch. The Festival will be open to the public December 1 - 6 in the Torrance Memorial parking lot - look for the big tent!
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.
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 Girl with Pearl Earring has become Elf with Pearl Earring in acrylic by Margaret Lindsey. See below:

Can't wait until December to see these precious gems?

Ornaments made by the artists of Destination: Art will be available for purchase at our 

First Anniversary and Holiday party

Officially a Non-profit

It's Official!!

A few weeks ago we received notification from the IRS

that Destination: Art is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt

non-profit organization.

So all contributions are definitely tax deductible

using our EIN# 46-4026391

This was a big hurdle for our organization to get over 

so it's worth celebrating!

Malaga Cove Library Art Show and Auction

A BIG SUCCESS!!
