BOOK THIS ART TOUR

We will see also Karen Lynn Ingalls’ exhibit (below) of vibrantly charged landscape paintings in the Backstreet Gallery and Mario Uribe’s collages and abstract brushstroke art in his studio.

Santa Rosa is known to tourists as the center of the art of winemaking. The wine industry’s focus on fine craftsmanship is also the defining aesthetic for fine art and craft. In our tour we will see how the woodcarvers and fine artists of the region push their craft to the fullest extent possible and add their own unique innovative stamp.

We’ll first visit the Sonoma County Museum to see handmade wood furniture the likes of which you didn’t realize existed in the 21st century. Drawing on classic techniques and exquisite materials, the members of the Sonoma Woodcarvers Assn will astound you with their precision and innovation.

After lunch at a local art cafe, we will visit several artists’ studios in the SOFA Arts District and meet them personally to learn how and why they make their wonderful art.

Join Us on an Art Tour to get a glimpse into how these creators carve out their creative lives away from an urban center. We will see how they draw inspiration and community in their rural surroundings and relish in an immersion in peaceful, non-urban surroundings.

I bet you didn’t have a clue that Santa Rosa held such wonderful artistic bounty. Let’s go together to seek it out! I look forward to seeing you!
