A Finer Art Affaire 2009

On Sunday, September 13, from 10am-5pm in the village of Rancho Santa Fe, over 100 of Southern California’s finest artists will exhibit their works in an event titled A Finer Art Affaire, put on by the Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild. Located in the park at the corner of Paseo Delicias and Avenida de Acacias, this multimedia event will feature oil and watercolor paintings, pastels, sculpture, woodworking, and jewelry in one of the largest juried art fairs in Southern California. This year’s new feature will include The Jeweler’s Showcase, where jewelry artisans will display stunning handmade pieces of wearable art. Jazz guitarists will perform at two different locations. The Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild’s mission is to embrace the visual arts, provide exhibit space, enhance community awareness, and foster artistic skills. (858/759-3545, www.ranchosantafeartguild.org)    JANE SHIOMI
