Description
The Claremont Museum of Art brings back the popular Art Fiesta once again with local artists showing their work under the shady olive trees of the beautifully restored Padua Hills Theatre.
- Twenty five area artists will display and sell their paintings, ceramics, glass, sculpture, textiles and jewelry.
- Art and craft demonstrations by local art organizations will include potters from Claremont High School Adult Education Ceramics Program, craftsmen from Maloof Woodworkers, and artists from Chaffey Community Museum of Art and the dA Center for the Arts.
- A sculpture exhibit, Betty Davenport Ford: Capturing the Animal Spirit is presented by the Claremont Museum of Art. One of Claremont’s most prolific sculptors, Ford has worked in clay and bronze for over sixty years as she simplifies form to abstract the natural essence of the wild creatures she depicts.
- ARTstART students will lead children in creative Art Activities.
- A Music Stage will feature local performers. Festive foods from Casa de Salsa's taco bar and Spaggi's will be served with traditional Jamaica punch and fresh Padua Hills lemonade.
- Start your holiday shopping early for unique handmade artwork or Art Books.
First held in 1953, the Padua Hills Art Fiesta was organized by local artists to bring art into the community. The studio art movement that flourished here in the 1950s centered on the use of natural materials and traditional sensibilities – watercolor, pottery, woodworking, sculpture in stone, bronze and ceramic, mosaic, textiles as well as painting. Visitors came from miles around to meet the artists and watch “art in action” at the popular festival. Today the tradition continues with a new generation of artists sharing their talents.
